Could The Muscle Cramps And Bruising In Wrist Be Due To The Plate In Lower Arm?

I had a plate put in my left lower arm by my elbow to fix a broken bone. I keep having cramps in the muscle and it sometimes it hurts to rotate my arm. I keep getting bruises in my wrist area that are painful and I don t have an explanation for having them. Does all this have anything to do with each other or is it just coincidence?
