Painful arm after getting an Implanon. Is this a side effect?
Patient: hi, i am here to ask a question about the implanon, i got the implanon placed in my left arm last thursday. i have had no problems at all untill now, all day i have had slight pins and needles from my elbow down in my left arm, the pins and needles get a lot worst when i strech my arm out. could this have somthing to do with the implanon? what should i do? please help. thank you Doctor: Hello,I have gone through your queries and understood your concern. In my opinion that must be a side effect of the implanon and mostly they will resolve by time but if it persists and too severe then you need to consult your treating doctor to check the place of the implanon and they will decide whther to keep or remove it. Thank you.
