Hello
Due to fall there develops inflammation particularly in soft movable joints as in elbow in your case. Redness swelling , tenderness , and unable to lift is also an indication of bursitis .
In this type of case take cold massage , tablets serratiopeptidase with aceclofinac 200 mg s r with rest for 5- 6 days will provide complete relief .
Still pain persist or increase then get in c t scan and consult an orthopedic surgeon .
Rest and above mentioned treatment will provide relief within 2 days with complete immobilization of joint.
Good luck.
