In brief: Olecranon bursa
It sound as if you are describing an olecranon bursa.
They are benign . It could be aspirated and then a compressive dressing applied for a few days and that should relieve it.
Otherwise prolotherapy to the bursa will close it down. It is not a cause for worry.

In brief: Sounds like
Bursitis, but can't tell for sure with your description.
Show it to an orthopedic surgeon because this could get infected. And it could be something else.
