Broken knuckles?

2017-09-10 08:52:54
I punched a wall yesterday and it's been hurting so bad since. The skin is very sensetive that even running my finger over it is painful. I can bend my fingers but it would cause some type of discomfort. I've got a purple bruise with white center sorrounding the injury. I don't know if it's broken or not
