It kind of stinks because of the cost and irritation of it all but the only way to know for sure is to have an x-ray. With something like this it's best to just have the x-rays done and be sure. Good luck.

If it is not displaced, or sticking out through the skin the only way to tell if it is broken is to see a doctor and have an x-ray.

An x-ray should do the trick. Likely it's sprained, sounds like mine when I did the same but an x-ray will tell for sure.

Only your doctor can tell from a xray.
