What Causes Pain And Numbness In The Arm While On Implanon?

I have had my implanon since September 2015. It s been almost two years. It has started pinching and it hurts very bad. The pinching feeling is followed by tingling and numbness in my arm. I called my Dr. to see if that s something to be concerned about and as of two weeks have not gotten an answer. This thing is also causing extreme mood swings way worse than when I was pregnant. I need to know your opinion on whether I should have this thing removed.

Hi I think you should consult a gynecologist for complete examination. It may need removal if it is causing so much pain and numbness. May be some nerve is being pressed by that. Hope it helps.
