Hello,
As you may imagine, this is hard to answer without being able to examine the elbow. It sounds like you may have injured a muscle or tendon. Try warm compresses and anti-inflammatory medicine like motrin (if you do not have hypertension, kidney disease or ulcers). Do not use ice. Gentle stretches that you can do without pain may also be helpful. If it is not getting better then see a doctor.
