Unless you or someone you know has X-Ray vision, the only to way to tell would be to go to the hospital.

Dammit, I have movement, it's just hard to put too much weight on it!

Ice it, and take something for the swelling (like aspirin or ibuprofen, but only if you can take it without ill effect - Tylenol won't normally work on swelling).

And get thee to a doctor.

And stay off of it for now.

LOL - don't hurt yourself anymore! I'm no medical person but I did take a combat lifesaver class through the Army. I specifically recall them saying that if you have an injured body part, don't use it.
