naltrexone/revia implant

I went through rapid detox and had the naltrexone implant inserted on April 15th, it is a 6-7 week opiate blocker. . . .there is quite a lump and after physical work is it somewhat sore . . doctor at clinic prescribed a steroid which took away inflamation . . it does feel better, but it itches towards evening time. . .i am just surprised at the size of the lump . . and wonder if over the next weeks the size of the implant reduces as it desolves . . have been off vicodin almost 30 days and feel wonderful . . i was so out of it went the implant was inserted i am not sure i really understood what it would look like . .. is this normal? I would also like to say thank you for this forum it has been my life line back to quality life and some sense of sanity!!!  thank you very much!

Hi there.  This might sound stupid but what is (Bup).  I have never heard of it before. I am taking the naltroxine.  So far so good.  Its hard though.  My husband left me for another woman this week and I want to use so bad, but I am fighting thee urges. Glad to hear your doing well.
