Thumb pain

I have pain in my left thumb at the base of the nail. I have had this pain off and on for years but it does seem to be getting worse. I have a white line up the thumbnail and the nail always splits as it grows. This pain has also been radiating up my arm and into the shoulder and back area at times. Sometimes heat helps, sometimes NSAIDS and sometimes nothing helps. The pain is worse when the thumbnail is touched. I would really like to get rid of this pain for good, it’s very annoying. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
