It could be broken. The bump on the side sounds really bad.

Sounds like you need to go to the doctor or the emergency room to make sure. You don't want to wait too long, it could be harder to treat if it is broken.

You might have fractured the bone. I'm no doctor but is should say that you should rest that elbow. Maybe you should go to the doctor

i fell a few years ago on ice and landed on my elbow
i started moving it after i fell it was swollen and bruised
i figured i would not go it it will get better -- well i didnt get better it got worse
i ended up have surgery due to a pinched nerve in my elbow

if i was you i would go get it checked out -- just to be on the safe side

You really need an x-ray to determine this. But yeah it sounds like it.
peace
