Hit my finger hard on a stool over a week ago it has been hurting on & off since tonight it hurt really bad looks a bit swollen bruised bone?

Can't say!: Persistent pain after an injury may mean you have a fracture, not just a bruise. We can't tell without an x-ray. See your doc or go to an UC and get one and see if it's broken.
