Been told that so far there isn’t a serious medical reason behind the pain (thyroid, rheumatoid and lupus tests came back negative), so I’ve been told to wear thumb splints to bed for a month. They may help with some inflammation at the base of my thumbs, which may be causing the other pain; after a month I’ll head back and see what the doctor says. We’ll see. Not fun typing with them on though. 
Hand/Wrist update.
