Unhappy boxer's break

A couple of weeks ago I hit my hand on something (face and head of a$$hole)
and my pinky knuckle sort of pushed in. My hand was swollen for a while and before MT on Tuesday my coach said that it is broken and not to hit anything for six to eight weeks. Since I don't have insurance I didn't go to E.R. or anything. I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with this injury? From what the guys at the gym were saying the bone gets compressed and sort of bursts on the side leaving it shorter and fatter. Should I perhaps put some sort of splint on my pinky/end of hand to keep it straight or what? Sensei Cooper said that it would have to be rebroken to fix so I'll probably just live with it. At least untill I have insurance and break it again. It Doesn't hurt but If anyone knows a way to make it heal any better that would be cool. Thanks so much to anyone who actually read this entire rambling post
