@kmat Hi, just found this thread and am a new member. I just underwent my first fusion biopsy this morning and have made it through fine. The dr. did everything through the rectum, as opposed to making a separate incision into my perineum, a great relief for me. I did find more after effects with this procedure, such as much more burning, slowed, and frequent urination. I am on an antibiotic for 3 days and AZO, which stops these aforementioned effects. It's harder to sit for more than 15 minutes since the instruments really stretched that area, so I'm using a cold pack every few hours. Drinking lots of water, taking Tylenol for pain every 4 hours, and resting today. Results will be in 2-3 weeks.
