A member asked:
Had a liver biopsy about 10 hrs ago. i have terrible pain. can't lay down and hurts to breath. is this common?

Best to call doctor: "terrible pain" sounds rather worrisome. It's best to call the doctor back now, since the biopsy was just done today. One should not wait around to see if it gets even worse, if it is "terrible pain".
