Answers:
Hard to tell. I hurt mine at work and needed stitches. The emergency room doctor stitched it up and I was walking around the emergency room with no pain or difficulty. The doctor thought I was all right and then after viewing the x-ray's he said that I better sit down.
It was broke.

Have the x-ray's done to be sure.Health Question & Answer
