Elbow strain/bursiti: You could have a bursitis if the skin overlying the bone on the end of your elbow (olecranon process) hurts to pressure. If that is red and hot it suggests an infection and you would need an antibiotic. If this condition is just ongoing for a few hours after all of your origami work, you have likely strained a tendon. I would apply ice to the area/stop your work, see doctor if continuing pain.
