It's a pretty hard and solid piece of bone. The flesh may bruise around it.
1-Put ice on it ASAP. Take an aspirin.
2-Go buy some of those foam water pipe insulators at a hardware store. Much safer "sword".
3-Make a wmmm wmmm noise when you swordfight and it could be light sabers.
The Force, and the pain, is great in this one Obi-wan.

RICE
R Rest
I Ice (20m on, 20m off)
C Compression (ace bandage it, not too tight)
E Elevation (keep it above your heart)
You can take up to 800 mg Ibuprofen (4 tablets) if you weigh 100 lbs. That will help the pain a lot. If it's not really bad pain, just take 1 or 2.
If this doesn't help, or it's more sore, swollen, painful in the morning, see your dr.

It should turn red instantly. Worst case scenario, you can't extend your elbow fully. Give it till morning and if it still hurts, consult a physician.

worst that would happen is that you'd break something. it's likely just red because you got hit hard with a stick. ice it. take some ibuprofen if you want. it may bruise, but you should be fine.

THe worse that could happen is that you could have fractured a bone without knowing it. I would take it easy and make an appoinment with your doctor.
GOod luck

A bone chip could break loose and go to your heart, then it's lights out for you.
