I had my bone marrow biopsy&aspiration done last wed,I was a little afraid because it was my first time going into surgery room in hospital so I asked the anesthesiologist to put a lot of spray on my skin before the needle,he told me calm down and he inserted a cannula in my left hand vein and inject 2 anesthesia needs,and when I woke up in the recovery room I felt like I’m traveling through time 😂,no idea what happened or where am I ?,and for 30 mins after I woke up I wasn’t know whether I’m dreaming or real .and after 4 hrs I went to home ,I still feel pain in the area, but it is almost moderate pain not that hard .Yesterday, a pharmacist cleansed the area and put a bandage on it. Results will be available within two weeks.

Mahmoud: your experience with the anesthesia made me smile. My 1st 2 BMBx were done with anesthesia because I was afraid of the pain. The next 2 were done without anesthesia because I don't like to ask family members to take off of work to drive me to and from work. Once they get enough local anesthesia to the site, you really don't feel anything. Hope to hear back on your results.

Hello @mahmoudbakry! You’re making me smile first thing this morning with the story of your biopsy and the experience with the anesthesia! 😅 I know you dreaded having this done and now…pffft, it was a piece of cake!
The discomfort should diminish over the next few days. Now the hard part waiting for the results. Will you let me know what you find out please?
