Bone Marrow Biopsy

Hi all,

I live in Scotland and had a bone marrow biopsy in early December.  It was extremely painful and that was just the numbing part hence the aspiration was also painful.  I have submitted a complaint and written to my Consultant.  However it has left me unable to sleep as it is constantly on my mind.  Has anyone else had this problem and how did you manage to get past it?

  • Hi meljarv,

    I'm sorry to hear you had a difficult experience with this. I hope you're able to get a response from your complaint and your letter soon.

    My reply here will give your post a little boost, so a few more people should see it, and hopefully you'll get other replies soon - particularly from anyone who may have similar experience.

    Wishing you all the best,
