How much pain from a thyroid biopsy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not much: Most thyroid biopsies are done with small needles - smaller than the needles used for blood draw.

Should be little: It will depend upon the person performing the biopsy. In most cases, patients say that it is about the same as having blood drawn.
