Lump On Elbow, Moves Back And Forth, Pain In Funny Bone. Fractures During Car Accident. Suggestion?

I was in a car accident 8 weeks ago with some fractures, etc. resulting. I had a bruise on my elbow, which finally disappeared. Now I can feel a slightly larger than pea-sized lump in that area. It moves back and forth when I touch it.

I noticed it, because twice I had leaned my elbow on a hard surface and it felt like the pain of hitting your funny bone. It doesn't hurt otherwise.
