After The Insertion Of Nexplanon Experiencing Pain On The Site
I ve had nexplanon fitted 48 hours ago however I m still experiencing pain in the insertion site. Hurts to bend the arm and do some normal day to day activities. Is it normal for it to be this sore? The rod is palpable and just under the skin. I found when I bend my arm, it feels like the implant is being pushed up causing sharp pains.

Hello,
Mild pain is common and normal. This should subside in 4-7 days. In case there is persistent pain or swelling then do consult your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
