Hello,

As you had the injury while hitting, and no pain while movements then it won't be a facture. I don't think any kind of x-ray is needed for now.

Do icing to reduce the pain and swelling twice a day. In between do hot water fermentation and move your fingers within the hot water tub.

After a week or so you can try pressing the sponge ball slowly to regain the strength.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
