Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
hello sir
As I understood from your question that you have a lump in hand which was following injury to hand
In my opinion you might have developed infection in one of closed spaces of hand and by massaging it a lot you let the infection spread to other regions of hand and now to forearm
why I am thing infection because of heat and pain associated.
However clinical examination is required to pinpoint any access which has formed and to drain it adequately.
Also you will require antibiotics
Please visit an orthopedic surgeon for needful as this spreading infection can be very harmful
