Numbness Gone After Removal

Hey everyone, this is a positive removal experience, and I just wanted to share my experience.

I’ve had 3 nexplanons since 2015. I don’t remember having any noticeable negative symptoms besides how much weight I gained over the years, and how hard it was to get off. I had essentially no periods over the entire time I had it.

I did start having fairly constant hand numbness after my third one, and it was just something I assumed was related to my implant. This one seemed a lot lower compared to my others, which is what the doctor who removed it said too. Sometimes it was hard to breathe deeply without a weird electric feeling sensation down to my arm.

I finally got it removed a few days ago, and it was a great decision so far. I instantly noticed the numbness was just gone, it is so weird to have feeling in that hand. It was about a year overdue so it was a little hard to get out with the scar tissue encasing it, but I am so relieved to have this out and see who I am without it.

Anyways, I wanted to give my experience for others, and ask if anyone else had similar numbness?
