VolleyBall Elbow Injury - what happend? what to do about it?

volleyball elbow injury

I was playing in a volleyball turnery last week and ,closer to the end of the day, I spiked the ball and something happened to my elbow. not sure if it popped or hyper extended but it filled with fluid and the tendons front and back were sore. two days later half of my bicep and half my forearm turned black and blue.

Its been a week now and its getting better but it still is painful some times in a resting position and the tendon (areas?) are sore when arm is stretched. I did play a little vb the other day and I was OK. hurt a little but did not get worse.

what did I do? what is the best way to heal this? Is this a potentially bad injury?
