Why is my elbow pit hurt and veins protruding?

I am a healthy 63 year old female. I had no fall, no drugs. My right elbow pit is worse than right, this is over a week now and getting worse. I can barely lift my arm now

There are a number of possibilities for your symptoms. Vascular or Lymphatic are among the more likely. Venous thrombosis is possible for instance. This warrants a visit to your primary care physician.

Good luck,
