Thats hard to tell. Broken fingers and nuckles are tricky. I tell you this do, in about two weeks, you will see discoloration on your nuckle, meaning its broke. but it could be just sprained. Don't put anything around it to make it stiff so you cant move it, cause if it is broken, and you keep it stright, it could heal wrong, and you will have a hump sticking out. Best to get an x- ray cause you never can tell.

its spelled knuckle. its prolly just swollen though. ice it!
