thumb pain

About two weeks ago I started having stiffness and pain in my thumb especially upon awakening in the morning or after inactivity.
The first few times I bend it the pain is intense and there is a popping in the joint near by fingertip.
It eases with activity but wakes me at night. Any idea what this is or what I can do to help it?
