Okay so you probably broke them. Styptoms of broken bones are usually swelling around the injured area. Another is not having complete control on the bones. Aft the first couple of hours it will be at the most pain. This is because bones contains a lot of your nerves, blood and it has a marrow. I recommend that you go to a doctor as soon as possible. If the accident was just very recent I also recommend you to put ice on it.

You may have broken them. Best thing to do is tape the injured fingers together to keep them from moving. Do this until the pain and swelling is better. You may want to take some Aleve. It has a muscle relaxer in it and will help with the swelling. Ice will also reduce the swelling. Good Luck!

I would like to suggest to go to the emergency room immediately. I have had the same type of pain that you are going through. My finger was swollen and looked a bit crooked as well. I did not go and wished I did. My finger nail fell off. On the second day, I finally went and was told that I had fractured the tip of my finger and it was already set. They could do nothing about it, in sort of breaking it again. Now my finger will remain crooked. Go to the doctor.
