I am on birth control, been on it for over a year and it is the 3 year implanon that goes into the arm, can it make your armpit sore for having it in for a while? Should I be concerned of what it is? Or is it just a lymph node. I m a little scared of this.

Can Implanon Cause Armpit Sore?
Hi, Implanon generally does not cause any soreness in the axilla unless it is severely infected. Most probably it may be a swollen lymph node developed due to inflammation in the surrounding region. You can take mild analgesics like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a physician and be evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
