ER or Urgent Care: It's hard to know why it would be hurting so much now, but it sounds like the pain is very severe. To rule out infection or other complications, you may want to be seen in the ER. They will be able to get an Xray and evaluate your hand. Some Urgent Care facilities may be able to provide this service also.
