Hello there

I am sorry to hear you are currently needing to have some tests and are experiencing some pain and swelling after the biopsy.

It isn't unusual to have some pain, bruising and swelling after a biopsy and this usually settles within a week or two, however if the pain is worsening and the swelling is especially bad do let your doctor or the breast unit know.

Please get back if you need to.

I hope you know more and things settle soon.

Take care

Naomi

Thank you for replying. I was thinking i would wait til tomorrow and see how my pain is then call if i need too. Im thinking maybe its just nerve pain from the swelling? 

Hi stacca83

I had seven Core biopsies taken from my right breast three weeks ago and still have pain, the first week I found really painful especially at night, I was told by my consultant it takes 8 weeks to fully heal as I was the same as you with swelling, pain etc

I purchased a sleep bra from M&S and this helped ease the pain.

I'm having a Vacuum Assisted biopsy on Wed and dreading it as I know what to expect plus still have swelling so that will be interesting shoving them in the Mammogram!!

Try not to over work that side (easier said than done)

Take care
