A member asked:
Am i supposed to be able to see my nexplanon when i flex? is it safe to workout my arms without harming the implant? normal for it to be sore?

Yes: It is very normal to see your nexplanon when you flex. It is implanted just below the skin so it will occasionally be visible. It is perfectly safe to work out as much as you want. I would expect the area to be sore for a few days after insertion and perhaps a bit sensitive for longer.
