What Causes A Bony Bump On The Wrist Along With Wrist Pain?

Hello! I have a question. Randomly, I'll get a sudden pain on the dorsal side of my left wrist. It's really tender and sometimes my fingers tingle/go numb when this happens. When I flex my wrist down, theres this hard protrusion (feels like a bone) that pops up and makes a noticeable hump on in my wrist (one of the carpals located close to the radius). Today I was looking at it, trying to figure out what it was because it was hurting a bit more today so I began pressing on it, back down into the joint, and it felt like the bones were shifting (not pleasant or painless by the way) but by the time that I pushed enough, that hump/bump in my wrist was mostly gone. I don't know if one of the bones in my wrist is dislocating randomly and I just pressed it back in or what this could be. Any advice...or is there something I should be looking out for?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that this is kind of cyst that is not directly related with the bone some time it comes around without the surgical intervention if this does not happened then you need to remove it surgically, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
