Swollen Elbow

Hi,
I was hit by a cricket ball on my right elbow around 4 weeks ago. It swoll up very quickly but my movements were not affected. However, the next day, I decided to get an x-ray. It proved there was no break or fracture and the swelling eventually subsided. Since then, it has swollen up again and I had to go to my GP. He said that it was blood and it would take months to go - altough he did offer to syringe it out but he did say it would come back again. The problem is that it seems to be swelling up even more and its becoming an embarrasement to me. I was wondering if there is something else that might be causing the swelling?
