Sometimes, not always, I will get a severe, stabbing pain at the base of my left thumb (near the wrist)
I have similar symptoms (left thumb only) which my doctor diagnosed as basal joint arthritis. If the cartilage coating the ends of the bones wears out, bone starts to rub against bone and arthritis results. Incorrect technique or maybe just too much of a good thing.
