My Bone Marrow Biopsy.

I had my biopsy approx 4 weeks ago, the weeks that followed were fine no pain everything normal, then 2 weeks ago I was getting pain across lower back near biopsy site which was making walking painful

last Saturday 21st Sept went to A+E bloods showed slight elevation for infection, given antibiotics so although helping still find walking a struggle.

Have spoken to my cancer nurse but seem not worried. Yesterday I had my first chemotherapy session for my myeloma seems ok so far, but am worried about walking and back pain.

Basically am I over reacting .

  • Hi Annieq,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear you're been experiencing difficulties with this pain. It's good to hear that you've had it checked and also spoken to the nurse about it, and that they don't seem concerned. However if it continues and/or you have further questions or concerns about this, try to speak again to the nurse, or to your doctor. They will be best placed to advise.

    If you'd like to talk things through with someone prior to that, you are also welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
