We cannot know for sure, but it might be jammed fingers. You can probably figure it out yourself based on the symptoms. Pain, swelling, loss of motion, and loss of strength are all very common symptoms of a jammed finger. Swelling within the joint is very obvious, and you can usually tell very easily when you have suffered a finger sprain.
One knuckle will swell up, and it will look noticibly bigger than the others. Unfortunately, this swelling often lasts for weeks if not months. Sometimes it never completely goes away.
Pain and motion usually come back fairly quickly, depending on how severe the sprain is.

You may have stretched or torn ligaments. Since the initial injury was like hyperextension it might be a bad sprain but it is good that you are going to the doctor to get it checked out. My gut feeling is that you may need to rest it for a while.
