A member asked:

I just got nexplanon (etonogestrel implant) 68mg 4my b.c my arm hurts &is sore were my obgyn put it in is that norm?how long tll ican take off bandaid

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. normal.: When the Nexplanon is inserted, there is bruising which hurts and the trauma from the capsule which hurts like getting a big needle put in your arm. remember your last tetanus or penicillin shot? You can take the out bandage off the next day, but if there are cloth tapes, leave that on until they fall off by themselves which may take a week.
