You describe exactly what I am going through. Did you get relief? I hope so.
I found this thread on a google search. I had my only BMB January 2021. It is now June 2021. The nerve pain is unbearable. I have done literally everything I know to help it but nothing does. Physical therapy, dry needling, ice, chiro, biofreeze, cbd, aleve, and on and on. I had an appt with a pain mgmt anesthesiologist and he did xrays (as did chiro) and he thinks it has zero to do with BMB (I disagree and chiro disagrees). Either way, I guess it doesn't matter. What matters is, I need hope that it will go away. It's going on 5 months of constant pain – most in sitting, driving, sleeping. I was super active before this and now I feel crippled. Did you get relief?? I have an appt to get injection into my spine at L4/L5 next week but I don't think that's the right spot. I think it needs to be nearer to the BMB site or sciatic nerve path. I don't know how to go about telling a Dr this either!

Hi, I am very curious if you have experienced any relief or figured out the cause of this pain. My mother was in a similar situation. She has a bone marrow biopsy in February and has had severe pain that still goes on today and has caused her to be hospitalized. Doctors have also said the pain is not likely the BMB, but we disagree. This pain is directly related to the BMB and when touched the pain increases. We determined there was a hematoma in March from this, but a MRI this week revealed it was gone now. I would love to hear if the injections helped because my mother has those scheduled as well at the L1-L3 level but we feel it should be lower to accommodate the BMB pain.
