ACCEPTED

unfortunately if they are broken they may be misaligned and when they heal this can cause permanent damage. you really should go to the er and get xrays.
ice only, with otc antiinflammatory like alleve twice a day for 7-10 days.
in the meantime you can use a spint bought in the pharmacy to hold them in position with tape.
