A member asked:

Is there pain after liver tumor biopsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

SOMETIMES: Any biospy can have pain associated with it after the initial local anesthetic wears off. But not everyone experiences pain. You should have something handy that you can take by mouth if pain presents itself after your biopsy. Ask your doctor for a prescription.
