Lump under my armpit?

I have been on nexplanon for 2 years going on 3 next year. I had this birth control planted on my left arm and that's the same arm where I have the lump. I've been having this lump for 3 weeks now going on 4 and it won't go away. It feels like a hard pea literally. Should I be worried? I don't have a lump on my other arm.

You don’t say whether the lump is next to the implant. It’s possible it could be scar tissue or something else. If it doesn’t go away, have your provider take a look.
Best to have this evaluated by your primary health care provider or by a surgeon
