What Are Typical Symptoms Of Fracture?

My daughter injured her finger in basketball practice yesterday. How can I tell if she fractured or jammed it? She fractured the same finger in the spring. Symptoms include: swelling (twice the size of the same finger on the other hand, bruising, inability to fully move it, and some pain, however the pain does not appear to be as severe as when she last fractured it.

The only way to rule out whether it is a fracture or not is getting an X ray. Consult an orthopedics doctor who can treat whether or not their is a fracture. Till the, ice the affected finger and avoid movements of the affected finger.
