There can be two possiblities.
1. It can be a mobile ulnar nerve. It feels like firm cord like structure on inner sode of elbow.
2. It can be medial epicondylitis. This is collection of fluidand fibrous issue,some time bursa inflammation.
I would suggest you to show it to orthopaedic surgeon to get your self examined and find out the cause behind this.
