Sprain v fracture v : Flipping chairs? Any numbness or tingling? Weakness? Bruising? Off the cuff, you could have sustained anything from sprain to dislocation to fracture. In this situation, best to go see doctor (urgent care will do) to get xray to (dis)prove fracture. While waiting to see doc, remember rice: rest, ice, compression & elevation. Good luck!
