What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Arm After Switching From Implanon To Nexplanon?

So ive had the implanon for 3 years no issues. Ive now switched to the Nexplanon. For the past 6 mos or so since the insertion ive had a tingling/numb sensation on and off in this arm. Recently ive started having more frequent numbness as well as really bad muscle spasms and noticed i can no longer find my implanon, should i be concerned?
