I would say yea, you should. If it's broken, you need a splint for it. BUT I know that it isn't necessary. Now, everyone else can argue with me about this, but even if it's broken, you don't necessarily need to go to the doctor. I have a friend (who breaks his fingers a lot lol) and he finds going to the doctor a waste of time. So what he does is puts a popsicle stick and either side of his finger, and uses medicle tape to tape them in place. It might not be too smart, but it works.
I would say, though, go to a doctor. I've broken a finger before, and I went to the doctor for it. But no matter what you do, you need to put a splint on it. Cause if you don't (I'm not trying to scare you, but it's the truth) more serious medical problems can arise. So I'd get it checked out!

Yes you need to see a doctor. One to find out if its a sprain or a break and 2 to get proper treatment.

ouch!!! nicely if its stil interior the right position ur in success you havent dislocated it and it per chance isnt damaged youve maximum likely jarred it. that is the position youve placed thanks to a lot rigidity on the joint and hence it bruises and bleeds interior. you should do this by in simple terms bending it decrease back ot a recommendations , i did it by catching a basketball once. Ice is often and tape it so it remains immediately, i no its humorous yet u can use a popsicle follow save it immediately and tape round that. I NO this hurts lyk a damaged bone yet its no longer . Ice is often u must be superb in some days. goodluck if no longer pass docs get a test

Yes, absolutely. If it's broken and doesn't set properly you could have all sorts of problems later on.

If you ever break anything always go to a doctor so he/she can determine how bad the problem is.
