Bone contusion: Sounds like you have hit the elbow pretty hard. As long as there is no deformity and you feel like your motion is gradually improving in your elbow you most likely have a deep bone bruise to the elbow. If you fractured it it would not be able to bend, you would have significant bruising and swelling and increasing pain. I recommend ICE 20 minutes every hour, NSAIDS like alive or advil (ibuprofen) and time.
