Rotator cuff tear-pain in elbow-wrist-hand- swollen forearm-catch in bicep, bicep knotted up, when pushed, it has a cracking popping feeling, painful ?

Ouch, biceps tear?: Your biceps tendon is directly next to your rotator cuff and may also be torn.

Multiple Sources: I suspect you have multifactorial pain meaning you likely have shoulder pathology involving the biceps tendon and rotator cuff but I am also concerned you have other sources for pain given your distal hand/forearm swelling. There is an entity called hand/shoulder syndrome that includes a frozen shoulder...See your doctor. http://www.theshouldercenter.com/shoulder-specialist.htm.
