It might be broken: Ctush injuries to the hand are very common and doors are a huge culprit. If there is persistent throbbing there probably is associated soft tissue and bone injury. I would recommend good x-rays and an exam by a hand surgeon. In the meantime keep it elevated and iced to help with the swelling which is causing the throbbing.
