What Causes Shooting Pain In The Left Arm?
I have the nexplanon implant in my left arm and i have had it for 10 months. it has not caused any problems until the last few days i have felt a shooting pain in the area where the implant is every time i try to raise my arm or straiten it. I took Advil and it helped but the pain is still there. Is this serious?

* The arm pain seems to be displacement related to implant giving some sort of nerve ending irritation.
* It is recommended to remove it for a particular period of time with add-on the usage of an alternative method of contraception to get cured.
I would like to admire your further doubts anytime.
