Good afternoon, I am new to this forum and am currently going through tests. However, I am looking for some people who under went a bone marrow biopsy. If this is you please get in touch.
Sorry, for the delayed reply, I have been out all day.
I have had my bone marrow and bone biopsy. Mine too was very painful during numbing. It felt like he was dragging the needle on my bone. Can’t help wondering if I have had the same doctor as you? I live in the north of Scotland.
I have put in a feedback/complaint. My consultant said that they cannot improve the procedure if patients say nothing. You don’t need to write a letter you can telephone the feedback/complaints line and they will help.
The feedback/complaint is shared with the clinical team and your consultant. So you can make a difference for someone else.
My consultant thinks I have had a false negative so more blood tests and genetic testing. If I have to have a biopsy done again I will hold out to have it done in theatre under general anaesthetic. Never ever will I have a biopsy under local anaesthetic again.
Although, someone I know had a textbook biopsy but she had a different doctor.
