    That you even ask this question suggests an enormous culture gap.
    If you suspect you have broken something, OF COURSE you go and see
    a doctor. I'm not overly fond of doctors--they're very simple-minded
    expert systems--but this sort of mechanical injury is easily diagnosed
    (just X-ray it) and treated.

    If it's a fracture it might heal crooked, which could give you all
    sorts of trouble later on.
