It hurts when I move it. Thurs I did Cardio Kickboxing with hand weights and I think I was gripping to hard on the weight. Yesterday I gardened for hours.
Could it be broken? Should I be concerned?

It can't be broken from over-use. It's probably just a strain. Is it black and blue? It would be really dark if it were broken.
Give it a few more days. If it doesn't start to feel better, you can always get an x-ray for peace of mind, but my guess is it'll start to feel better when you stop straining it for a few days. Just take it easy!

Based on what you've said it doesn't sound like a break, even a hairline fracture would KILL to move it, not just hurt. If you are able to (as some people cannot), take some ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) for any swelling and use a cold compress as well. If it continues to hurt after a few days, definitely go get it checked out. Hope you feel better!
