Alternatively you may have inflamed the tendons and/or tendon sheaths relating to the thumb, resulting in tendinosis and/or tenosynovitis. A

musculoskeletal ultrasound examination can sort these things out and may provide you and your doctor with useful information. Advil may help if its tendinosis/tenosynovitis, not so much if its actual median nerve compromise.

In any case I am with dr_sarcasm, go see someone sooner than later unless it has completely resolved by now.
thanks!!....Phd???
