Knuckle/Metacarpal Pain

Ok, a couple days ago I got very upset and punched a dresser that is made of very heavy wood...the dresser won. My pinky, finger beside my pinky, and middle finger are all swollen, so swollen I can't wear my engagement ring. My knuckles are swollen and hurt very bad, and my metacarpal region is swollen. All of the swollen parts hurt very bad and are bruised, the bruising is black, that's never happened to me before is black bruising normal? Even the slightest pressure is very painful and when I try to move my last two fingers they will hardly move and the little bit that they do move is excruciating. Oh and I hit my pinky the next day on a table on accident and now my pinky knuckle looks funny. Should I be worried enough to go to the doctor or will my hand be fine?

I was havin' a REALLY bad day and believe it or not the malfunctioning blinds on the window just pushed me over the edge and I punched the dresser. The thing is I'm going on an 8-day trip to Indianapolis from New Mexico for FFA National Convention and I'm leaving Saturday.
