i just got the implanon implant in my arm like 3 days ago. I really want to start my arm exercises again, but i keep putting it off because im not sure if its safe to do arm workouts yet? ive tried googling it, but nobody seems to have the same question!!

    Couldn't you call the dr that put it in and ask?

    You would think that would make the most sense. Strangers on the internet can't tell you something your doctor should.

    I have had the implanon twice now for a total of 6 years. I was told to lay of any extraneous activities with the arm for at least a few weeks. I really didn't want to do anything anyway as the arm was quite tender for sometime.

    I would hold off for a bit and consult your doctor to get a better idea as to how long you should wait. Once healed you should be able to do workouts fine.
