Overuse injuries don't get better from relatively short rests. If you try to play through the pain, it just gets worse.

It's urgent that you find to a physical therapist, very preferably one who has experience treating wind players. The solution may be as simple as changing your hand position or moving the thumb rest. PT got rid of my pain quickly.

Use a neck strap. Ricardo Morales in the Philadelphia Orchestra and Mark Nuccio in the New York Philharmonic use them 100% of the time. So can you.

For the time being, rest the bell on your knee, or between your knees, and move your right thumb above the rest to get the weight off of it.
