Elbow: It is unusual to fracture the bone with this type of injury. You can definitely bruise the inside parts of the elbow. I would put some ice on it and take some ibuprofen. If in a day or so you still have a lot of pain or can not move the joint then follow up and get an xray. If there is a lot of swelling and unable to bend the elbow - I would get the xray tomorrow.

Ice it: you need to ice it,and will be better if you can go to the ER and have it Xray,or go and see your doctor. if you can move the elbow,a chance of a fracture is very low,but elbow is a complicated joint even a small chip fracture will cause problems on long terms. take ibuprofen,ice it rest it,
