Hi. I fell and hit my elbow last night. There is now a small bruise and tenderness on the bone. The is also a burning sensation that comes and goes if I brush up against something or lean against something. The burning sensation is extremely painful.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

From description it seems to be soft tissue injury .Burning and painful sensation cold occur due to superficial nerve injury in the area.
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting weight and rest well.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
