What Does A Lump On The Wound Site Indicate?

I fell and hit my forearm on the handrail about a month ago. The wound has healed and the bruising is gone, but the is a small lump around the original wound that is still very painful if something rests on it such as my purse. I have no problems with grasping or carrying things in that hand. Might I have chipped the bone?
