Unless you have X-ray vision, the hospital is the only way.

I broke both bones in my lower right arm and suffered a lot of pain. My face was as white as a ghost and I felt like I was on drugs. I knew right away something was wrong and I was only 8 years-old!
On the other hand, when I broke my collar bone I didn't know. My bones felt funny but they didn't really hurt.
My point is that you don't really always know. Sometimes it really hurts and there will be signs of a break; fever, white face, swollen area, lots of pain. Sometimes there aren't any signs.
If you're really worried, go to the hospital. Seriously. If it is broken, you don't want to make it worse by not treating it right away!

A broken bone and a fracture are the same thing. You need an xray to know for certain. It is not a waste of time to go to the hospital ER even if there is no fracture. You need to see a doctor, get xrayed, and treated for what ever your injury is.

well for starters you would not be able to use it to type. Unfortunately, unless you have xray vision, there is no way to know for certain if it is broken without a trip to the emergency room, I suggest you get someone to take you right away.
