Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Any symptoms with the implanon implant are an indication for removal and replacing at a new site.
The implant may impinge on local soft tissue or a nerve to produce such symptoms.
It might have been fractured or infected, in which case it may not serve it's purpose and may lead to untoward health issues.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
