Is This A Serious Injury And What Might Have Snapped Or Popped?

I was holding a pole on the bus and the driver made a sudden stop that made me yank on the pole to keep front falling. I felt a snap or pop on the top of my hand and it s tender to just the area and hurts when I try to lift something with weight to it. Is this a serious injury and what might have snapped or popped??

it could have caused a bone fissure that needs an xray done to rule it out..
do not worry but start with ice packs and rest..and get an xray done.
