What Could Be The Reason For Having Pins And Needles With Numbness, Traveling From Finger To Finger?
Hi, i ve had the contraceptive nexpanon since (sep 23rd 2013) and about a month ago i had major pins and needles with numbness, travelling from finger to finger. It felt very strange. My left arm where the implant is doesnt feel right since i ve had it in. Do you think i should get it checked out?

Hello,
Yes, it is best to see a doctor and get it checked. Sometimes scar tissue around an implant can become inflamed and press on a nerve causing symptoms like yours.
