How badly does a thyroid biopsy hurt?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not bad: It depends on your pain threshold but in general, it is not more than getting your lab draw, it's just intimidating because it's a needle in the neck. It's easy enough that some docs don't even need to give you numbing medication.
