When I move my arm my elbow starts to hurt and there is about an inch from my elbow to where the implant is instererted this pain is getting worse and I cannot straighten my arm without pain would the pain be caused by the implant?
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorPain after orthopedic surgery is a common issue especially after mobilization. Since you have exceeding amounted of pain my recommendation is visiting the operating surgeon and discuss the issues with him/her.
