Is it okay to have a lot of pain after a breast biopsy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's not dangerous: Everyone has different levels of pain after a breast biopsy. If you aren't taking any pain medication, it is okay to do so in the short run. As long as there isn't marked swelling in the breast, this probably is within the range of normal and should subside with time. Consult your breast surgeon.
