Bone marrow biopsy: Was it painful?

Has anyone had a bone marrow biopsy that required one or more CT scans during the procedure? If so, were the CT scans done with or without sedation? Thanks so much!

@pillinfo Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Are your doctors telling you that is needed, and did they explain why? CT scans are typically done with no sedation, in my experience.
Anytime we need to have a CT scan, and contrast might be involved, please know what your kidney function number is, your eGFR. Under 30, a contrast dye is not advisable, since it will need to clear through your kidneys and can compromise them further.
