Hi,
Pain in elbow is related to neuromuscular injury, or elbow joint injury from the trauma that you had.
You should take anti-inflammatory medication, Ibuprofen 400 mg twice daily for one week.
Try not to overuse your elbow.
If pain doesn't improve , I suggest you to consult a doctor for a physical examination to evaluate any other damage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
