You should ALWAYS see a doctor in case of an injury. Sounds like your finger is jammed. If after it returns to "normal", there is a large lump in your finger, and you can't bend it to the extent that you used to be able to, then yes, you have broken it. I thought mine was jammed after playing basketball and tripping, but I later found out that it was broken.
I will tell you just what the doctor will say. Get it X-rayed to see if it is broken or not.

yes , you should at least to make an x-ray to exclude any problems
You're kidding...right? "Should I see a doctor if I have a broken bone?" Gimee a break...are you really THAT stupid??
yes you should see a doctor and if your finger hurts this much how did you type this
My doctor gave me heck once because I waited too long to go get a finger checked for a break. I thought I could be tough enough to let it mend on its own!! It was on my left hand ring finger. My knuckle (on my hand) and the next one up were bruised and swollen and gawd awful sore. But the break was actually in the first digit. Physio therapy was necessary to help it heal in a way that wasn't painful. Don't wait too long to see your doctor about it.
