Yes. I had a needle biopsy without problems (on 3/3). The only after care is that I am not able to lift more then 5 lbs for 10 days. The easiest access was through my back and there is some muscle discomfort but nothing serious or disturbing..the anticipation was the hardest part.

Thanks so much. I sm worrying so much over this. I wasn’t so worried with my bronchoscopies somehow the thought of a needle going through my lungs and reading on google the risks of air leak and hematomas are keeping me up at night.
