The "doesn't hurt" part......does it really doesn't hurt one bit, even when you move your fingers, or does it actually feel numb? Or is it simply because you've taken some painkillers? Anyhow, the feeling that it's full of liquid is only your body's natural way of protecting the area from further injury, by releasing chemicals that cause the blood vessels around the injured part to become leaky, so the plasma can flow out to create a cushion around the injury. In any case, if you're unable to move your fingers (that's not caused by the swelling hindering movement) because it's too painful, do have it checked out by your GP to rule out any possibilities of fracture. If it's not a fracture, the swelling should go down in a couple of days. To help reduce the swelling, place an ice-pack on the area. If you've got no ice-pack, a bag of frozen vegetables on the area works the same way.

The bursa may have burst out of your joint. Give it a few days and if it doesn't go down or if it begins to hurt, go see an ortho doc.
