What was your experience with bone marrow biopsy?

As other comments indicate, patient BMB experiences vary significantly. I have had two in the last six months. Both were in the onco's office, using only local anesthetic (no sedation). No problem either time. Mostly vibration and pressure, with minimal pain. Drove myself home, an ibuprofen that night, fine the next day. For me, the thought was worse than the experience.

Hi @wesleym, Welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing your positive experince with having bone marrow biopsies. So many different stories with all of us!
Having two biopsies in the past six month is usually an indicator that your doctor is keeping close eye on the progression or treatment for a blood condition.

I’d like to help connect you to others who might be living with a similar diagnosis. Would you mind sharing a little more about yourself and your diagnosis? What’s prompted the BMBXs?
