A member asked:
Can you provide some advice for someone who's had a bone marrow biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The reason for: Biopsy. Bone marrow biopsy is done for a large number of reasons and the follow up care would depend on the diagnosis. As for the site of biopsy, you should leave the bandage on for 3-4 days for the wound to close and may take over the counter pain relief. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bone-marrow-biopsy/my00305.
