Have you seen an orthopedic or hand surgeon for diagnosis? Pain from both MCP and CMC joints is similar, treatment differs, but both begin with complete evaluation, progress to hand therapy including splinting, and as a last resort may require surgery.
In each case, strengthening exercises and a properly fitted splint can often help a great deal.

thanks in the uk particularly post covid getting to see anyone in secondary care is almost impossible, seen a specialist hand physio who says to use compression bandage / taping / wrist brace for periods butt at 73 the potential for much change is limited just symptom management
