Only a 1 hour wait - slow day at the doc-in-a-box, so I didn't feel too bad about wasting their time.

Diagnosis: thumb tendinitis (too lazy to look up the fancy word he gave me)

No more free-weight lifting for a week, no lifting anything heavy, and get a more ergonomic desk setup with an arm support for my right wrist. Basically, no gripping or squeezing anything with that hand. Good thing I'm not a boy. ;)

Gave me an ace bandage since the wrist brace doesn't immobilize the thumb at all, said to come back in a week if it gets worse and he'll splint it. If it stays the same, give it 2 weeks with the ace bandage on, then come back anyway.

Thanks to everyone who told me to go.
