leslie83c	Even if it's broken or not, you really need to go to a doctor. If it's broken, you might need to have it re-set back into the proper place.

JuicyBebe	Go the GP. You really shld not be wasting time asking for anyone's opinion right now.

AlWaYs RoKin	OUCH!!!! My dad is a Physical Therapyst, so he deals with this kind of stuff all the time. You can tell if its broken, if you can hardley move it. if u cant really feel the finger next to it, and yes if it is swollen and brused. u might have just brused the bone and that is why it is swollen. However if it hurts like crazy, i would consider going to Quick Care, or something to get a finger brace. HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON!!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
