What Causes Pain Around Wrist And Bump/swollen Thumb?

Hey, I recently fell on an outstretched hand, at the base of the tissue coming down from the thumb is a large bumb, it is swollen and hurting when I spread my fingers apart or touch it. There is also a dull pain around the wrist area, is this common? Or broken? Thanks for your time.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you should get your hand X ray to clear the injury, it could also be a ligament tear, and you need to see your hand surgeon for that.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
