Elbow pain.: You may have an infection at the joint. Call your doctor back tomorrow and see if you can be see then, please.

See an MD ASAP: Elbow pain that sounds this severe needs to be evaluated. It can be anything from a fracture to an infection of the bursa or anything in between. An examination by a medical professional can determine the most likely etiology.
