How To Heal Fractured Elbow With Hurting Implanon?
I fractured my elbow about three weeks ago and my implanon hurts every now and then. Just an achey but slightly sharp pain in that area. I ve had my implanon for two years. I m thinking it moved over a little and it just tore some tissue. Is it serious enough to go talk to my doctor about?

Hi Thanks for writing your query After going through your query, my advice would be as the life span of implanon is 3 years and if it is giving problem it may be removed after consultation with your doctor.Th e other way is take some pain killer like ibuprofen and wait for few days. Hope this information suffices. Take care
