Start Simple: Think of the simple stuff first.like, do you drink a lot of coffee, or tea, or caffeinated soda or energy drinks? Under a lot of stress?Working out too much?Recent injury?Drive long distances?Sleep on that side?Does it happen when the thumb is at rest or under tension? You hitchhike a lot?Any repetitive stress(typing, golfing, biking, or some other"personal"activities)?If none of these, see a doc
