I got the implant about 2 months ago, so the initial bruising from insertion is long gone, but this morning I noticed my arm was tender and there's a large purple bruise around the area.
Last night I did take a bit of a fall, so its possible that I injured my arm and it happened to be in the exact same spot. I'm just concerned that it could be more serious than that.
Is the Nexplanon implant bruising months after insertion normal?

I suggest getting it checked straight away, as they can break with impact.

You might just need to go to your doctor & tell them what happened & they could probably better explain it to you & they could probably do a ultrasound to see if there is anymore damage or anything else causing you bruising
