Get it evaluated: It may help to get an ACE wrap to provide more support and to rest your arm on pillows with a bag of frozen vegetables over the area. Follow the acronym RICE stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. An anti inflammatory such as Motrin or aleve (naproxen) may help. But if pain is still very bad and/or swelling is occurring you should get the area examined and an X-ray to ensure no fracture.
