Kindly get your sr uric acid done. Since there is no history of injury either increased uric acid could be responsible for the pain or more commonly inflammation of tendon of the thumb. Use thumb spica splint. Ice application 4 to 6 times a day. Pl share yoir uric acid report so that i can guide you further

Well don’t worry your condition is treatable. If you say that you didn’t injure yourself then it could just be inflammation around your tendons or just a simple sprain. For now you need to apply a splint/brace to the thumb with ice application and anti-inflammatory medicine (painkillers) . Rest is very important
Next Steps
If it doesn’t resolve then you will need radiological tests
