What Causes Lump At Back Of Hand And Knot Near Thumb?

I ve had a lump on the back of my right hand at the wrist for several weeks and it is very, very painful. Now a not has appeared at the base of my thumb on the inside of my hand. I am in severe pain. When I attempt to write, hold anything or try to open any thing with that hand it hurts even worst. The doctor told me several weeks ago that it was Arthritis.. my problem is that I have arthritis in other parts of my body, but this is different... it hurts constantly..
