"soreness" is a dangerously misleading descriptor for what's going on here

One rough test if you suspect a fracture is to hold the hand out flat, fingers straight, and rap on the end of the finger with a finger from your other hand. If the taps produce pain, you likely have a fracture. This test is VERY rough/non diagnostic, it's more a "well, probably" kind of test. Since you punched a wall, I'm even more inclined to think small fracture, but if it's not displaced it usually heals on its own. | |
