@18deirfield I had mine removed as soon as I could... It made me a complete bitch π¬ and it constantly hurt! When my doctor went to cut it out it just popped right out he said it was because it was trying to force itself out of my arm and that's why it hurt the whole time I had it in.. I had it for a month because my dr suggested to keep it in longer to see if my symptoms went away but I wanted it out within the first few days to a week after getting it put in..
