Is this a bone spur?

I have on the inner side of my elbow, on the bone that almost is pointed the protrudes when you bend it, hurts like a needle is being pushed in. I has been that way for a week now. When I lay my elbow on a chair arm or table and it lays just right it hurts like the hot needle being pushed in.

You need to see your doctor. Often a bone spur on the elbow is going to make bending it harder. Do you have that as a symptom or only pain when you touch it? Loss of mobility is one typical symptom of a bone spur. But pain is definitely another especially when you push against obstructed movement. It can also become inflamed which is painful. Swelling can happen. Did it start out of nowhere? I'd see your doctor.

Its only when pressure is put on that specific area. No pain when bending it or joint pain at all. It has over the past day stopped hurting when pressure is put on it.

Well, that's a good sign that it doesn't hurt anymore or as much. Did you hurt it or slam it recently?
