A member asked:
I got the birth control implant (nexplanon) in dec. but i just started having pain in the area where it is. is there an issue i should know about?

Scar tissue: Some people will develop scar tissue around their implant. You could try massaging the area several times a day to prevent scar formation. Also watch for redness or tenderness because that would need quick evaluation.
