Wearing Implant In Arm, Have Shooting Pain In Arm On Sudden Or Certain Movement. Cause?
I ve had my implant in my arm for 2 and a half years and the last week or so, I have been getting a shooting pain nearlly everytime i move my arm in a sudden movement or certain way, it in my arm just above where my implant is, it starts from the inside of my elbow to the highest point of where my implany finishes closer to my shoulder? Could it be touching a nerve? Or what could it be?

Usually implants are never cause of such sharp pain but I would suggest you to show it to orthopaedic surgeon and see if he can find any other cause. If there is no other cause of nerve compression there then I would suggest you to get this implant removed. Till that time you can take Pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet which will give you pain relief.
