about 8 years ago I was in a car accident where i was driving an older grand prix with a high center console. I hit a tree and I bounced off the center console and it tore my muscle up dramatically and broke my arm. They wanted to amputate my arm since the muscle was mince meat and the break was just under the process. Instead they used a metal plate to repair my arm.
took a few years to get most of my nerves and strength back like normal and I have always had some swelling and chronic pain through the years. But, all of a sudden a week ago my bicep has become so swollen it has a fold in it and in the back where the screws exit it is super sensitive and there is pain all the up into my armpit.
What could cause this(no strenous activity or injury had happened) should I be concerned enough to see a physician?
Thank you for your time.

Hi Catlady,
See your doctor or orthopedist.
It's possible, but not very likely given the length of time, that you have an infection. There may also be an issue with the hardware that is causing the pain.
You can likely expect at least an x-ray of the site. It will help determine if there has been any movement or if there is a cyst or other problem occurring.
FYI, I never saw your post until you said you were leaving and then had a bear of a time finding it.
Good luck, hope it helps.
