Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury over your hand.
These hard lumps are blood collection(haematoma) which might get organised. This may take few weeks to get dissolved. Apply hot fomatation over it.
You can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation after discussing with your doctor. Avoid lifting and rest well.
Wishing you good health
Regards.
