Hello,
It may be due to fracture.
For further assessment you may require X Ray elbow joint after orthopedician consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Restrict your movements
Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
