Suggest Xray: Especially if you've had any trauma. There are several things that can cause something like this, but if you've had an injury, you would want to make sure that there isn't a certain kind of injury (skier's thumb with stener lesion) at the base of the thumb that if not fixed properly can result in long term problems.
