Could my finger be broken? I was at a well-known restaurant chain and I went to scoot up my chair. However, the chair was broken (the seat was not connected to one of the legs) and I unknowingly placed my finger in the spot where the seat was not attached. I ended up sitting down...on my finger... Both the person sitting across the table from me and myself heard my finger, like, breaking. It made a LOUD popping noise. Now it is swollen, bruised, and hurts to move it AT ALL. Could it be broken?
