Distal radius fracture infection 8 weeks post op?

I “totally destroyed” (per my surgeon) my radius 2 months ago. Had surgery 8 weeks ago which required a dorsal spanning plate, which will be removed in the next month or so, and K wires, which got infected and had to be removed at 4 weeks. Did 2 weeks of bactrim. Healing was going great with no complications.

6 days ago (7w post op) I did some very light gardening. My entire arm/wrist/hand swelled SO much about an hour after. I’ve been compressing and icing and elevating religiously, and it’s still swollen, but it has gone down some. My lower two incision sites look PI**ED. I’ve sent images via mychart, and they say the redness is an expected result of the swelling and everything looks ok.

Tonight it looks like this. I think it’s infected. I have a PT appt tomorrow and I’m hoping a Dr can squeeze me in. Does this look normal/within the range of normal? See less
