A member asked:
What should i expect in regards to pain during a bone marrow biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Almost certainly they will deaden the area before doing the biopsy unfortunately they cannot deaden the bone so when they penetrate the bone for the biopsy there will be some immediate pain but it should be short and you ought to be able to stand it since you know it is going to happen.
