Get one of those finger braces at your local drugstore and bandage it to another finger and leave it there for a few days or weeks. Ice will only help the swelling go down. Take aspirin to relieve the pain and the swelling. If it's broken then you should feel a sharp shooting pain every few seconds. Use this method and if this persists then go ahead and have your school nurse (if your in school) check it out or go to the local pharmacy (at the drugstore) and see what they have to say. Good luck.

If you can move it then it isnt broken, I do suggest that you go and tape it to the one beside it that does similar motions (ie pinky to ring, middle to index) If the pain persists or you think it is a huge issue go see your doctor, provincial healthcare is great, a walk in clinic will help if you want to get it checked out quick but it may be ligiment strain but tape it and take asprin for the pain, see if the weekend helps if not get it checked out
good luck!
