Both my thumbs hurt and I don't know why

A bit of a random one but a few days ago my thumbs started hurting. Initially it was my right thumb, but now it's both of them. It hurts in the metacarpal bone area along the top of my thumb, rather than the joints specifically.

I work an computer-based job so there's a lot of typing, but even resting it over the weekend hasn't helped.

Does anyone know what could cause this and if they have any advice?

Arthritis. Or repetitive strain injury

My psoriatic arthritis started like that.
