It is very difficult to tell if a finger is broken by symptoms alone. Lack of mobility can result from a fracture (break), dislocation, or rupture of tendon (other possibilitys exist, but given a history of trauma are less likely). Swelling/pain are common with the above and I have seen people move/use fingers/hands with broken bones. If it was broken and the bone out of position (even a few degrees can lead to misalignment and arthritis later on) Only an xray can tell for sure. (swelling beyond a few days is very suspicious for fracture though).Better get a doc to check it out unless the finger isn't very important to you. There are mobile xray trucks and you could try to get the VA to order a mobile xray to come and x ray you at home).
