Having Implanon Implant In Hand. Any Restrictions In Weight Training In Gym?

Hi,
I have the implanon implant in my arm, and i have started going to the gym where i mostly do weight training. I just want to know if there is anything that i shouldn't be doing or if anything will affect/hurt the implant and muscle development. (I'm not looking to bulk up, just tone up - and change my body metabolism)
And also, i have very mild scoliosis (lumbar 12% i think), will this also effect what i can/cannot do?

Hi, it is almost a flexible thing, in side the arm. You need not worry about the thing, you should not have a direct hit over the implant.
With mild scoliosis you can perform every deed, if you are not comfertable on the back then only it is to be stopped.
Thank you.
