Okay, heres the story.!! I was injured at school on Friday!! And i was icing it every hour all day.!! The swelling hasn't gone down yet. The pain is so bad I feel like crying.!! Is it possible to have some sort of fracture on my finger if i can still move it about 1 inch up/down.?? Should I ask for an X-ray??? Also how can i help get rid of swelling??? Any more information would be greatly appreciated.!!

Yes it could be broken. It is a myth when people say that if it's broken you couldn't move it. You will have to see a doctor in order to get the x-ray.

yes get an xray, put it on ice, ibuprofen reduces swelling and helps with the pain

u definetly broke it and the only thing u can do is keep icing and take medicine to kill the pain that will help it another thing to do is wrap it tight or wear a splint and tape it so i t gets better right away.GOOD LUCK
