I was punching the wall and my middle and ring fingers are somewhat swollen and red but i have full range of motion in my fingers should i be worried?

About your wall?: It will forgive you. Meanwhile, put cold compress on knuckles and see if swelling / redness go down. If they do and ranging fingers does not hurt, then got lucky. If starts to hurt to move, chance of "Boxer's fracture" and might need xray.
