complete healing after tenodesis takes at least 5-6 months . during this time heavy load should be avoided . your history suggests there may be minor tear or detachment at tenodesis site.
at present you should give rest to arm and shoulder by keeping limb in arm pouch. Local application of non irritant analgesic gel and anti-inflammatory analgesics such as ibuprofen will decrease pain and swelling.

Hope this helps.
