Fracturing a bone should cause pain, so i doubt you fractured anything. The swelling is due to broken vessels and increased blood flow to your hand; its a defense mechanism your body instinctively has.

The ice should help, and the swelling should be noticeably smaller in a couple days. If swollen for a long time, you should check with a doctor.
 
I have some swelling in my hand and some bruising but minimal to no pain. I am putting ice on it. Should I be using a sling/ace bandage? When should the swelling go down? Is it possibly fractured despite their being no pain?
