Slap tear surgery last week and now the area around my elbow is painful to the touch and hurts so bad to straighten for pendulum exercises, normal?

No: Some degree of swelling that tracks down from the shoulder to the elbow after an arthroscopic shoulder surgery is normal, but if it is quite severe I would definitely let your doctor know.
