What Causes Arm Pump Sore Throbbing Pain In Left Arm Near Implanon?

Hi I am currently getting an arm pump sore throbbing pain every few seconds in my left arm near my implanon. the pain is hard to describe, but its almost like a whole heap of blood is stopping then pushing through and making it sore. when it happens, it makes me jolt and have to stop what im doing & hold onto my arm real tight. should i get this checked or is it normal? only happens for about 30 seconds maybe every 1-2hours? this hasnt happened to me before...

Hi Christy,
Welcome to health care magic.
The pain and a features of discomfort you are having at the of implanon implant may be indicative of a local infection that is brooding up there or it may be a wrongly implanted implant that is impinging on a nerve in that location.
In either case you should get it examined by a local practitioner and preferably get it removed and reimplant at a new site.
If it is found to be infected or some local pus discharges from the wound is noticeable then you will need a short course of broad spectrum antibiotics as well.
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
Take care.
