To ask is this normal for the implant? *arm pic* (Nexplanon)

[Notsureabc]

I got my implant on Thursday. When ever I move my arm certains ESTA it feel like I’m being stabbed. And rn it’s stinging. I keep getting these marks and I’m getting worried.

Positions not ESTA, and I’m on about the purple marks.

Not normal. Go back to the GP or GUM clinic.

I didn't have this, so would suggest you make an appointment in the morning.

Not normal. Mine had one little mark where it went in.go back.

That looks really odd to me, I had less bruising and those red lines are nothing like what I had. I had lots of bruising when it was changed over as she struggled to remove it.

I don't think that's normal. I've had two and I did get a large bruise at the site and it was a bit sore for a few days but nothing like you describe.

bruising & painful yes (2 weeks!) but not stabbing pains (for me)

Have you looked at the official information, here -

nexplanon.com/side-effects/

She said she think it hit a blood vessel most likely a vein, but I’m having pain up to my shoulder aswell like up to under my armpit, I think I just need to get it checked to either put my mind a rest or get it taken out, but the red lines are being coming more not less as time goes on.

My bruise was bigger than that but pretty uniform while yours looks a bit strange? I also had pains when i moved my arm a certain way like you describe. They soon settled down. No if so if that's normal though

Becoming*

No this isn't normal. Go back and get it looked at ASAP

I always felt like i was being poked until it had propwrly sunk into my skin. It used to take a good 3/4 weeks before it wasn't sat at the very top of my skin and even 2/3 years in if i sat wrong it would poke sometimes. Not awful feeling but not comfortable either when it happened. Generally, after the initial settling down period it wouldnt bother me.
My first one ended up bent though so maybe that's why.

Are you a vegan @notsureabc

My niece's arm went like that when she had hers put in last year...... And she had been a vegan for a year.

It stayed like this for 6 weeks. She decided to eat a couple of eggs a day for 3-4 days in case her diet wasn't up to scratch, and the bruise was 90% gone within the week.

That pic isn't very clear can you post one with better lighting?

Do you have a walk in urgent care centre near you? I'd get that out immediately.

Seems she was missing some vital protein.

I've had 3 and never had that reaction, get it checked

I had some similar bruising when I took the pressure bandage off early but the pain is worrying.

No @summercat I eat loads of meat and meat products etc gonna get it checked out to be sure. Better safe than sorry

Oh well, yeah then get it looked at.

I am sure all is OK...

I’m going to the walk in now, I’m not gonna be able to sleep for being worried etc

Good luck. It will be fine though.... Just a weird bruise I reckon!

DO get it checked though.

That doesnt look right! Definitley get checked

google bruise on arm after nexplanon: there are many far worse than yours, OP.
