Answers:
Well, one can hurt as much as the other one for sure and in ways it doesn't matter on how they treat it. If you go to your doctor or the emergency room they will probably treat it the same way. On finger breaks they don't cast it or anything but they do put a piece of a metal thing on it and tape around it to keep it straight until it heals which is usually a few weeks or so. You can even do that at home to save a trip to your Dr or the hospital by using a pop cycle stick and applying tape around it until its not too tight but secure enough to hold it.

It may just be stowed but the only way to know for sure is with an xray
