My ear is hurting what is wrong?!


Question: My ear is hurting what is wrong?
First, I'm 13 so I have little to no clue if I got the ear anatomy correct or not.
I accidentally smacked my ear against the corner of a desk, The part that is hurting is above the tragus. (The crura of anti helix and the crus of the helix) It feels as if something is broken or disconnected.
It hurts a lot if I even touch it.

(That's the link that I used for the ear-anatomy)
