Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I would suggest you to get X ray to make sure that there is nothing wrong with your bone. If there is no fracture, then apply ice, take Brufen tablet and apply diclofenec ointment. You can also apply compression bandage. Keep your elbow elevated over a pillow when you are lying on bed.
