Answers:
It sounds lie a Ganglion cyst but it could be many other things. I would definitely see a specialist as soon as possible.

Data on a ganglion is below:

A ganglion cyst (also known as a bible bump) is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand or foot. The size of the cyst can vary over time, often becoming more inflamed if irritated. It is most frequently located around the wrist and on the fingers.Health Question & Answer

I had one and I saw my doctor. He said it was a "lump of tissue in muscle" or a "lump of muscle in tissue"
It went away after a couple of years
He told me that decades ago people used to hit them with a bible to rid of them because a large amount of pressure cures it

Kalkail is right. A ganglion cyst. I had one and went in, all they do is put a needle in there and drain the fluid from it. My wrist ached for a week or so and it has been 13 14 years and I haven't had a problem.
