Painful hands: Since this has been going time for sometime, i would soak her hands in warm water 4-5 times daily to ease the muscle pain.

Thumb pain: Hard to say without more detail, but two typical possibilities, assuming that there was no other high energy injury, would be some form of tendonitis or possibly aggravation of an underlying basal joint arthritis. A good exam should help alot. Good luck.
