Hi,
Thanks for the query.

After reaching the expiry date the implant may not help in preventing the pregnancy.
It is not good to keep the implant which crossed the expiry date.
Pain etc. could be due to that and withdrawal effect may be causing some other symptoms.
So you better consult gynecologist once and get the implant removed.
Then rule out pregnancy once.
After that you can go for some contraceptive method again.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
