hey guys, what does it actually feel like? i am meant to be able to feel it or i have to go back in 24hours! i couldnt really feel it at doctors cause my arm was all numb and spongy. but i just had a feel now and i still cant really feel it. also it is more on the underside of my inner arm i thought it was mean to be more in the middle of inner arm. cause i didnt look at it, i dont really know what shape, how big or thick or pronounced i am meant to be feeling. any help?

You will still have a bit of swelling there so that may be why you cant feel it. It is about 5 cm long. Make sure you leave the pressure bandage on probably for the rest of the night to reduce swelling too.

When you can see the scar it should be pretty close to the scar. If it feels way off from the scar then you need to visit the dr.

pretty much what the others said. It should feel like a thin rod, oh and it should be a little moveable too as you rub it.

Feels like you've got a match under your skin Maybe after the initial swelling goes down you'll be able to feel it there.
If you can't then go back to the Dr before you DTD as there was some controversy with it a few years ago with Dr's not making sure the implant ejected from the applicator and it didn't go in the arm.
