What Do You Suggest For A Sharp Stabbing Pain In My Stomach When On Contraceptive Implant?

I ve had the contraceptive implant for over a year now I am 16 year old and at random times get a sharp stabbing pain in my arm that can last for up to 5 minutes then stop and start again about 3 times each time it happens. Also when it happens I go really hot and sweaty should I be worried and what should I do?

Hi
I understand your concerns. The pain in your stomach is unlikely to be due to the implant. But if it is in the arm then it is due to the implant and you need to get it removed.
