Arthritis?: Assuming you haven't injured it, it sounds like some sort of arthritis of the elbow. Some possible causes (e.g. arthritis due to infection) ree serious and might require immediate treatment to prevent permanent damage. Contact your doctor soon -- do it immediately if it is rapidly worsening or if you have fever, even if it means a visit to an urgent care clinic or hospital emergency department.
