Pinky finger: Depending on how you had your hand it may be possible that you may have irritated one of the digital nerves which maybe what's giving you that feeling of your hand being on fire and burning. In any event seeing an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation and x-rays is probably your best bet to rule out the words possibility of a fracture
