I just had shoulder surgery a week ago and i have 6 large welts on my upper arm and pain and swelling in my elbow and under my arm. is this anything.

Yes.: Get it checked out by your orthopedic surgeon. This might be a sign of infection that requires treatment (antibiotics). It could be an allergic reaction as well. Definitely, play it safe and have it evaluated.
