Basically you'll have pain and severe lack of movement, swelling and disfigurement.
Just go get an xray , there free at public hospitals and they'll put a cast on as well or give you info on healing it. If you leave it , it could heal wrongly and you will be left with disfigurement and lack of movement.
 
Break the other one and compare it - that's usually how I do it.

I think perhaps a trip to the 24 hour A&E wouldn't do any harm. If the bone begins to heal out of place (assuming it is broken) it can cause a lot more troubles later down the track - perhaps err on the side of caution.
 
Now people don't just want herps diagnosed, they want humans ailments diagnosed also!
Come on, go to the doctor or accident & emergency, they are qualified to give an opinion, we arnt!
 
I broke my foot once and x-rays showed nothing, 6 weeks later I was still in pain so had an ultra sound done and it showed what the x-ray couldn't, a green fracture. Often small fractures can't be seen on x-ray. There was nothing to be done about it unfortunately.
 
Are there any vets open somewhere near?? (lol)
No seriously, the advice given already is the way to go.......... get yourself off to A&E.......... it's the only way to get it fixed!
 
i broke my hand i got a bit pissed off with a teacher n went to punch him but punched the brick wall instead.

how did you do it?
post a pic if you can?
 
Go to the doctors or hospital, what is the point in putting a thread up about it, seriously? Geez, I know if I suspected I had a broken hand I wouldn't sit down on APS and ask herpers whether or not I had a broken hand...I'd go see a doctor that could tell me for sure!!
 
I was 16 once as well, when your hand feels like that it's best to give it a rest before you go blind....

ahahahhaha a little too much time on his hands as well as something else:shock: jokes!

i had a broken foot for four weeks before i realised it was actually broken, sometimes you just get used to the pain and dont realise, my advice would be for you to go and get it checked out!!
