Answers:
Only 1 way to know for sure and thats an Xray. If there is 1 place that has what is called point tenderness, (it hurts right here), it is quite swollen, or is defromed, then think fracture. Otherwise, some other kind of injury is possible. I know this is ambiguous, but without Xrays it's hard to diagnose. Heck even with xrays it can be hard to diagnose. Tape the injured finger to the one thats next to it and do this for a 3-4 weeks or ountil it quits hurting. Best answer would be get an xray, but unless it's a special circumstance, they don't do a whole lot for fingers.

If you can feel your finger, i don't think that it is broken, but maybe sprained. Take some Motrin or whatever you prefer.
Be careful!
