This pain in the thumb is actually a repetitive strain injury caused by excessive hours of using mobile phone on a daily basis for over years. 

Moritz Tremmel on golem.de, 26 February 2022 said ‘’If the pain is already there, doctors can prescribe physiotherapy, give painkillers or a cortisone injection.  Even then, however, protection is the order of the day, so type more slowly and take breaks more often”…(www.golem.de). His advice is very sensitive and beneficial to every mobile phone users.
