Brief Answer:
You need to get x ray of the elbow

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might be having fracture in the elbow. So I would suggest you to get opinion from orthopaedic doctor and if there is fracture then you might need splinting.
If there is no fracture then also you can get splinting.This will take care of muscle trauma and swelling.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
