The elbow comprises of many ligaments and muscles and tendons which can get injured besides the bone so I would suggest give it some time do ice fomentation and stop taking pain killers for few days and if the pain is increasing then you need to consult local orthopaedic surgeon otherwise the pain should go in three weeks and you should be comfortable Do not lift heavy weight and do not play any contact sports like football / cricket
