Kidney biopsy on Tuesday and I'm scared

Hi everyone

I'm having a kidney biopsy on Tuesday and am really scared. I've read all the Macmillan and nhs information on it, but it's all so matter of fact. I would really like to hear your personal experiences eg did you have sedation, any discomfort during, what to expect afterwards, bruising, pain and once back home, when can I expect to get back to normal activities and exercise....I'm going to miss my zumba and aqua classes!

I think I am more scared of the numbing injections as I know through experience that they hurt :-(

Thank you x

    I just wanted to post to wish you well for your biopsy tomorrow. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious. 

    I'm sure the team will be supportive during your appointment tomorrow and hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the results. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
