Sprains and strains are far more painful than most fractures, so if you have had it x-rayed and there is no break, my guess is that you sprained, strained or even subluxed it.

Try rest, ice, compression (bandage it for support if you can't tolerate the splint) and elevation (eg put it up on a pillow) If you can take aspirin or ibuprofen preparations, these are the best as they have an anti inflammatory action.
Persevere and it should start to feel better in a few days. If you continue to have problems, go back to the doctor.
Good luck
