Hello, Thanks for posting your query You hit your elbow & after that swelling appears and it is tender to touch. It might be a soft tissue injury or a fracture. You need an xray to rule out any fracture. So you have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for exam. and treatment plan according to that. Regards.
