It's just inflammation, the same as when you hit your head and get a "knot" or "egg". Blood rushes to the area in response to trauma, and this causes swelling.

Try making a baggy of crushed ice or frozen peas, wrap it in a towel and rest your elbow on it for ten or fifteen minutes at a time. This will help bring the swelling down, and numb the pain. It might take up for a few days for the bump to completely go away, but that's okay, it's completely harmless.
