Pain after punch: sounds like you need to go get an X-ray to rule out a fracture of your hand. Movement does not rule out a fracture. Depending on where the fracture may be, it may result in loss of function or chronic pain if not properly treated. Go see your doctor for evaluation promptly.

Xray: If you have swelling in your hand after punching someone and pain with movement or making a fist - would recommend being seen by a physician to make sure you haven't broken a bone.
