When in doubt X-ray.: Normally with a fracture, varying degrees of classic fracture type symptoms occur. Swelling at the site along with pain are typical. There is sometimes an actual change in structure cause by the underlying fracture. An inability to move the part is also possible. Since you symptoms appear to be less than classic, it is probably not fractured. To remove all doubt, best to have an x-ray.
