I've been using Libres for a little over 2 years now, 1 at first but eventually 2. Although they work more than they don't, I have had a few issues with them. The main one at the moment being muscle pain part of the way through using one of the sensors.
It isn't a common issue, it's only happened about 2 or 3 times in the couple of years I've used them. But the most recent one, after using it for a few days I noticed my upper arm start to ache. As it had happened before, when my arm became painful I decided it was best to just remove it. Usually it gets better within a day or two. But after a few days my arm has only gotten worse, to the point where any movement with that arm is almost impossible with the pain.
For a bit more info, there was a bit more pain from the initial application than normal, including a bit of blood which doesn't happen often. I do alternate arms with each sensor, usually around the same areas without being directly on the same spot. I even take breaks from the sensors altogether at times and monitor my levels through blood instead.
