What Causes Swollen And Red Arm While Having Plates And Screws In Arm?

I had plates and screws put in 5 yrs ago in my left arm. It s been hurting all week (nothing out of the ordinary. Just a lot of use I thought) then I woke up with stronger pain and it s swollen and red. I may even be feeling a slight touch of fever. Should I worry?
