Hi @rjohn3702 This sounds awful! Having delayed pain from a bone marrow biopsy is unusual but it can happen. We have a number of members who’ve experienced similar with lower back pain, shooting pains, etc. @gonlee1 @dazlin @sharonmb @cassandralov99 have also experienced delayed pain they feel is from their biopsy.

It’s often difficult to figure out if it’s actually from the biopsy or just coincidental. Can you tell if it starts near the biopsy site?

When we have bone cancers, our bones are also affected and can become brittle or porous and prone to compression fractures along the spine. Nerves can be compressed causing excruciating pain.
Have you mentioned this to your doctor?

Thanks for your reply. I can't tell if it originated at the biopsy site but it is very close to it and radiates down my left leg making vertical standing extremely painful/impossible to do. But the bone marrow report does refer to bone marrow aspirate, right. To be truthful I have never seen the incision point and the dressing applied by the Dr fell off the next day. When my daughter comes over I'll ask her to take look as I live alone. The nurse practitioner has been told but I'll see the cancer Dr in two weeks who is not the Dr. that did the biopsy which I don't really know but he did a near painless job and had a great personality...
