My bone marrow biopsy was not a walk in the park but was not horrible at all it’s only fear because it’s something you are unfamiliar with
Just try to relax trust that the doctor knows what they are doing and it will be over in a very short period! Bless you!

No pain for me. They put me almost out.

My BMB was CT guided and I had conscious sedation. Some discomfort, but really not that bad. I didn't have any pain afterwards. Was told to take it easy for the rest of the day, but was able to swim again the next day. Waiting for results is the toughest part. Good luck. I hope they'll give you some form of sedation to help.

Hi, Carol. I had a BMB last September. I was very anxious. As it turned out, it was done very well, with a minimum of pain. There was no residual pain. I will keep you in my heart and prayers.

Yes. I was sedated and the whole thing took about 20 minutes. Pain was so minimal I didn't even need Tylenol after. Unfortunately, they did not remove enough of the core marrow to be 100% positive on the findings. My doctor says the preliminary findings are good enough and she is not recommending another BMB. I am scheduling an appt. worh an MPN specialist so will get a second opinion, but so far resulta are pointing in a good direction.
