Answer 1

yea sounds broken  

Answer 2

It could be a break, or a sprain.  Just don't really go to the doctor, unless it goes numb (if it goes numb while you are icing it, that doesn't count)  Just tape it around the "next-door neighbors" (fingers on both sides) and use a popsicle stick/finger "brace" (usually metal with some padding)  If you use a popsicle stick, put the stick on the bottom of the hurt finger.  Then put some tape around the stick and your finger.  Next, you can tape the finger to it's "next-door nieghbors".  Also, start putting ice on the finger for 10-15 minutes every half hour or so.
