How do i tell if ive broken a knuckle?

I lost my temper and punched the wall a couple weeks ago. I hurt my middle knuckle. 3 weeks later i can move it fine, however it hurts when it is touched. Do you think it is broken?

    if it were broken it would hurt alot more and you could barely move your knuckle, also it would be very tender to touch. i think you have just bruised the inside of your finger or strained a nerve. but you'd really know if it were broken!

    This one time when I went to a amusement park, there was a punching bag to show how strong you are, and I must've punched in the wrong way cause my hand immediately hurt. I went to the doctor and after x rays showed me that I had broke a part of finger right above my pinkie, close to the knuckle. The way you know something is broken, is if the swelling doesnt go away, and it continually hurts.
