Question

Answer 1

Tennis elbow---bursitis.

Doctor needed to sort out treatment.

Answer 2

The fact that there is not broken skin means nothing.  You coul have done anything from bruised it to break a bone.  Try putting a cold compress over the area and applying gentle pressure.  If it is still as large in a few hours or the morning and still hurts/throbs you should go to the hospital/doctors.  

If you feel it is serious or something is broken (can you move your hand without pain?) then go and get medical help now.  Leaving it could make it worse.  

Answer 3

I saw an episode on tv of a random hospital thing.its not serious. a dude had a big swelling, and all it was is some fluid trapped in the loose skin of your elbow. go to the hospital and hey could get it out easily for you.

(i might be wrong but hope i helped)
