Need to get X-ray : need to have it checked. Go to urgent care or ER if you can't get into see your doctor. May have dislocated it, and need ice compresses to get the swelling down. Blue means you have crushed blood vessels. Sports med doctors and orthopedic surgeons have X-rays in office or nearby. They will tell you how to care properly for it. Good luck!
