What Causes Pain Around Nexplanon Implant Site?

I have the nexplanon implant. Last week I got a ppd test done (wednesday) over the weekend I have experienced pain and a burning feeling around my nexplanon site.it is to the point where putting my arm down in a normal resting potion hurts, even when it slightly touchest anything. Is it possible that it could have affected my birth control? The test was done in the same arm as my nexplanon, honestly didn t realize it until today.

Hi,

It is due to minor inflammation at the site of the implant. You can take analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Acetaminophen/Serratiopeptidase combination for pain relief.

Generally, the symptoms will subside in a couple of days and in case of persistent symptoms or any signs of infection, you have to consult a physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
