Cracked knuckle 2 days ago & finger hurts bad and looks deformed. Can bend it but very tender/sore./cold. Did I break it? Not swollen

I got into a fight, I was defending myself. Now my knuckle on my middle finger and ring finger knuckle on my hand are bruised really bad. Their sore to touch, stiff, hurt to bend and I have pain in my wrist and up my arm. Any ideas?

I'm 33. Left index finger tip above first indent line hurts really bad, is swollen, and tight. I have no known injuries with my left hand.

Area between right index & middle finger is swollen & index knuckle sore. No recent injury though. Using right hand is painful. What could this be?

My finger is sore and swollen at the knuckle (right - index) and it have been for over a week. There's pain when i bend it (as if I'm trying to pop my knuckles) but i can bend it No other finger on this hand or the opposite is like this. A strain?
