It sounds more like a sprain. After the swelling has gone down ( in a few more days ), if you cant bend it, then it could be broken. At that point, I recommend you see an orthopedic medical specialist for your condition and have them perform a diagnostic test. That way, you can find out the nature & extent of the problem and a treatment plan can be formed.
Good luck.
