I got my nexplanon in february and recently it's started to make my arm hurt every once and a while. what could be wrong?

Hard to say: It needs to be examined. Can you send a picture of the insertion site? It may be developing a fibrotic capsule (normal part of the process). Also, some people develop keloid scars that can be painful. I've got several ideas on how to help you depending upon what is going on.
