Hello,
It won't be dangerous ,but you can get this evaluated to see if there is a subcutaneous hematoma in this region.This might be the reason of it being painful on extending arm.Doctor might want to get a sonography done to have look at underlying tissue.
If the hematoma is large doctor might suggest evacuation or else conservative management would be suggested.
