Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that it would have been some dislocation and ligament injury at the elbow joint. I think you should have an X-ray done and then consult back. Till then you can have some NSAIDs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
