Brief Answer:
Too early to tell if it is fractured or not!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you have reported. Honestly, there is little reason to suggest a fracture at this time because the pain is not very sever. The image doesn’t also suggest that the finger is deformed or swollen. For now, I will say unlikely to be a fracture. However, if the pain persists, I will suggest that you do an Xray to be double sure and make sure there is nothing we are missing out on at this time. I will recommend that you get Tylenol and Ibuprofen for pains, avoid manipulating the finger and apply ice blocks if need be for pain relief.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
