May want it checked: While it sounds like your thumb injury has followed an expected course of healing, the fact that you are specifically having pain at your joint known as the MCP, you may want to have an x-ray to show whether there is arthritis at that spot. In the meantime, continue to use ibuprofen or acetaminophen 2-3 times a day and see if your pain resolves given more time.
