Answers:
Honestly,, I doubt it's broken.
If it was broken you would know...

If you truly are super worried go see a doctor.

But my advice, is to just ice it and refrain from moving the joint..
Within the week it should be fine..
But this is important DO NOT CONTINUE ICING IT FOR MORE THAT 4 DAYS. Ice can be damaging, you should only ice it if the joint is swollen...

Other than that, my advice is to go on with life and try not to complain to your friends too much, or they might get annoyed and break it for sure! (jk)Health Question & Answer
