Brief Answer:
The discoloration will go away gradually and spontaneously
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Rotator cuff and bicep tear need repair through arthroscopic surgery. I would need to ask whether that has been done. In any case, I would be glad if you could tell me specifically what specific assistance you are seeking from me and I would guide you accordingly.
The large discoloration on your arm is due to the underlying bleeding. The blood will get resorbed on its own after a series of color changes and it will take 7-10 days for the same. You need not worry about it and it will spontaneously go away. Please be patient. No intervention needed for this discoloration.
Let me know and I would try to help further.
Regards
