What Causes A Lump When The Wrist Is Moved In Certain Directions?

I struck the top of my hand on a doorway frame just an inch above my wrist joint. My hand hand forearm went numb and has been hurting since I hit it. There is a lump that pops if I move my wrist certain ways accompanied by dull pain. No visible bruising though. Could this be a broken bone or just nerve damage?
