Has anyone had a painful biopsy? What was the explanation?

I had 2 biopsies in one day; one of the breast and one of the armpit. It was painful, of course, but I braved on through it. I was in pain for the rest of the day, and the days to follow. Bruising was almost immediate (an hour after biopsies) Later was diagnosed with a metastic neuroplasm and the cancer had also spread to my lymph nodes

You had a terrible but avoidable experience if the medical team had been competent. The steps to proper injection of lidocaine (outlined in the article above, in my 2nd message) would have prevented your unnecessary pain. I hope you are doing much better now and that your treatment is going well. I am sending good thoughts your way.
