Glad it's getting better. So...how's the other arm? I've had that happen to me more than once except it would be a bruise or a tweak (strain) somewhere and I had no idea where it came from. I would even have something happen to one part of my body and get something else on another part b/c I strained myself from trying to save myself from the first accident.

Is it possible that, after you banged your right elbow, you then favored it and continued to work, using your left arm for jobs it was not used to doing? That could bring on the aches.

I think it's called getting older. If I wake up without a new ache, pain, or creak of some kind, I figure I must be dead!

There are lots of studies about sympathetic pain. If you have an issue that lasts longer than 2 wks, the docs recommend an appointment.

This thread's around a month old now - hopefully the pain's gone away by now but if it hasn't you really should see someone about it.
