What would cause chronic pain in the base of thumb, in both hands, and the thumbs makes a cracking noise every time i bend it?

Sounds like Inflamma: The fact that it is in both hands goes more for an inflammatory process. Did you have any trauma ? Try icing to bring the inflammation down and passive movement to see if this helps. Start here
