My right thumb has been hurting for the last 5 days. now it is in my wrist and extending to my arm. what should i do? what could it be?

See a doctor: You should see a doctor as this could be a number of things, most benign is some sort of tendonitis, which may be caused by something you did or do repeatedly with your hand. You could try ibuprofen, but see a doctor if not getting better.
