Core Needle Biopsy

Hi all. I had a CNB on Thursday, taking 3 samples. I have slight bruising coming out and tender to touch as expected. However I have really bad back pain on the same side and this runs round to my ribs. Just wondering if anyone else had bad back pain following a CNB. I have no signs of infection. Thanks 

  • Hi Cass_burn,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm unsure if this pain is common or is connected to the CNB - the best thing would be to check with your doctor when you next see them, or to make an appointment if it continues.

    If you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    I hope it improves soon for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
