Answers:
Sounds to me like you've broken the proximal phalange of the middle finger!.
Basically, you've broken the bottom bone of the finger!.
However, there is also a very good chance that you might have pulled the joint out of alignment, and the swelling is simply the fluid!.
In which case you need to see an Accident & Emergency doctor to drain the fluid!.
However, still go to the A&E (ER) because the doctors there are trained to deal with these types of injuries!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to see a physician!. You didn't say how old you are and a broken finger, in a minor ,if in the wrong place can have a possibility of growing back shorter if the break is in the growth plate!. Don't just tape it!. Only an X-ray can properly diagnose your condition!.
Go to the emergency room and find out before you damage yourself!.
Good luck,

It can be broken!.
If it was sprained, then it would be a bruise but not that color!.
You should go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
