Does this seem like arthritis?

I’m 30, and my Mum suffers with arthritis.
For almost a couple of weeks now I’ve had a recurring dull pain in the base of my thumb, in the joint, and it occasionally hurts when I grip things. I cycle to work and so I’m not sure if it’s the repetitive gripping of the handles that may have caused this.
I also get the same pain in my big toe every few days, though my thumb is the main issue. It’s making me feel anxious, my Mum suffers quite a great deal with it, and I’m worried about it getting worse.

Any advice or suggestions? Thanks

I would say it's repetitive movements causing it but I'm not a doctor. You need to see your GP nobody on here can tell you.
