Pain: Pain, swelling and possibly deformity if it's a displaced fracture. There is an old belief that if you have a broken digit then you can't move it . That is incorrect. Ability to move really is usually only limited by pain when there is a fracture. My advice is if it's been hurting more than a day or two you probably need a x-ray. Hope this helps! :).
