Flick a finger from your other hand on the tip of the injured finger. If that resonates with pain, suspect a break. If not, it is some other kind of injury. Be sure to ice it regularly, no matter what. It is a great pain reliever for that injury.

you should go have it xrayed a.s.a.p. if its turning black it usually means a break..I had the same thing happen to me but it was a freezer door in a store bigtime Ouch.......since its crooked looking it means you need a finger brace on it. Good luck with it and hope it heals bigtime fast.

If you can wiggle it there is a good chance it's not broke even if it hurts to wiggle the finger. don,t use it and don't worry IF the skin isn't broken.
