Question : 3 days ago I had my implant removed from my left arm and a new one put in my right arm. There is a lot of bruising as expected and some swelling. I am concerned as I cannot feel the implant, the gp got me to feel it after she put it in but now I can’t feel at all. Is it possible that I can’t feel it due to the swelling?
