I had one done at M.D. Anderson in Houston. They put you to sleep. No Pain. THE blood work the day before was worse. I was skipping down the hall when it was over. That was 12 years ago and I am now in Constant pain and they can't find out what is wrong. Right now I take a B12 shot once a week for28 days. I am waiting to die.

Hi @cherren11. I’d like to welcome you to Mayo Connect though I’m certainly sorry to hear you’re not feeling very well, You mentioned having a bone marrow biopsy 12 years ago so you must have had symptoms that led to needing one. It’s good to hear that was a painless event for you but was there anything found on the biopsy? Were you diagnosed with polycythemia vera?
What type of pain are you having now that’s causing so much distress?
