Hi, it seems that your pain seems to be of muscle or nerve origin. Have you lifted any heavy object in the recent time.such pain can arise from lifting heavy object, playing games like tennis or cricket with a heavy bat/racquet or it could be nerve that is stuck up near elbow joint. I would advice you to give rest to your elbow for few days and then if the pain doesnt go away or increase in size you may then see a doctor. I wouldnt say its anything serious right now. You can also try taking pain relief medications like ibuprofen+ omeprazole and see if it feels better.
i hope you a healthy life ahead
do let me know if you have any more questions for me
