Hello and thanks for the query.
These side effects are not because of implanon .
Implanon nxt is a contraceptI've implant which contains hormone Progestogen.
The pain must be due to sudden withdrawal of large doses of steroids.
Whenever a person is consuming large doses of steroids,he or she should withdraw it in a gradual fashion under the advise of the doctor.
I hope I have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
