Messed up my elbow?

Yeah probably not the place to ask..but...

Just yesterday I took a fairly nasty tumble from my mountain bike on a paved surface...while going pretty damn fast. (my jacket has burn marks..). I flew of the left side of my bike, landed on my side and tumbled. (No before anyone asks, I was wearing NO saftey equipment, I have a ton of it at home and wear it when REALLY mountian biking, this was more of a fun workout with friends)

The impact was all on my left side, I managed to bruise my hip and take off quite a bit of skin from my left hand.(Nothing some medical glue can't help)

None of these bug me, my elbow is really annoying me though. I have lost the ability to fully flex it nor am I able to hold anything heavier than a coke can in my hand without discomfort.(I can't even bring the damn can up to my face to drink from it). I literally had trouble putting my pants on this morning.

There is no visible swelling - there was some yesterday but I put ice on it for most of the day and it seems to have gone away.

So in other words all I have is rather painful loss of motion.

Is this something I should see the doctor about or will it go away? At 21 I've only broken a bone once and that was a finger during soccer (got kicked in it). I am worried about possible fractures etc. (It was a very nasty fall..)

Is this something that I should be running to my doctor about? Usually I heal very fast...

Any help will be greatly appreciated
