Occult fracture: CharlBritt89, You could have sustained a subtle fracture during your injury. Swelling and decreased range of motion are common symptoms after an injury and can be related to soft tissue injury either in addition to or separate from actually having a fracture/broken bone. I would recommend an x-ray of your elbow (AP and lateral views at least) to assist diagnosis.
