sounds to me like you may have broken your ablongata. This may cause u some hassles in the future as it is the bone responsible for fine opposable finger movements, such as gripping a pen, it will heel in time however. Now to test whether or not it is broken, if it's youre right hand try rotating it in a clockwise direction, this should cause some pain. next rotate in a counterclockwise direction, this should cause more pain then the clockwise rotation, and should be hard to do. Perform the opposite rotations for your left arm. If that is the case then it is most likely that you have indeed fractured or broken your ablongata. If you want you could also try this reletively new and unproven method, called the Xray. I myself am skeptical, but it is worth a try, also a MRI scan wouldn't hurt, this is a totally safe procedure and will detect any damaged ligiments that you most probably have obtained . good luck.
