I should know because I had a hard time trying to get my hand to do anything when I came down with it but thankfully, it went away all by itself.
I think I have an idea of what you're going through, are you pressing the remote button in certain position? When I say certain position of your thumb, I meant at a certain angle. Are you pressing the button with your thumbs straight, bend a little bit, or straight up with your thumb rotated? Try different posture and see what happens. When I tried that myself, I find that my thumb kinda shakes a little bit when pressing the buttons at a angle, not straight but that sounds nothing compared to what you're going through.
Then again, that's just pure speculation

The posture that I notice it in is when the thumb is bent at a 90 degree angle on the joint closest to the nail & the rest of my fingers are tight (as in giving thumbs up or holding a remote control)
In other postures, such as a relaxed position, there is no noticeable shaking. Also, I can bend my thumb every which way when I'm not tight fisted and there is no shaking. Also to note, there is no restriction of movement.
If the situation worsened, I'd seek an orthopedic?
