What Causes Pain In Arms After Implantation?
I had an implant placed in June of this year. During my recovery I was taking pain medication but never really experienced pain in the area of the implant, my pain was always in my left arm and still continues. My cardiollogist suspects that physical therapy should resolve this

Hello,
It is due to minor local inflammation.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Make sure that the implant is not misplaced.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
