    Could be several things like a strain, tendonitis or just slept on it wrong. Try keeping it wrapped in ice and heat alternately to reduce any swelling and improve your range of motion. If it doesn't get any better, may need a trip to the ER or DR. Good Luck.

    Wait for a week. If the problem still continues then it may be 'Tennis-Elbow' i.e. problem of tendon. Few medicines with some exercises and diet control will help u to overcome it. Though many others causes may be there. Better u consult a doctor,
