Do contrast bath therapy Do ball squeezing activity multiple times a day Avoid using affected thumb while using phone or playing games, usually thumb is used in these sort of tasks. Your thumb pain must have started due to overuse. Apply pain relieving gel & if required use thumb spica/wrap crepe bandage
