Core biopsy pain

Had 5 core biopsy's taken today for my abnormal fine needle biopsy. Wow the pain is just awful - it goes all the way up to my chest!
How long will this last?

    I  had 4 core needle biopsies done and only painful for a week.

    Now a month later out of the blue I have pain and a definite hardening to my breast 

    My biopsies came back clear thankfully but sm concerned now again

    Hi Katiekatt,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am delighted to hear that your biopsies came back clear. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer and several biopsies and, like Magpiemaggie, I had pain for several months afterwards. I managed without painkillers, but it was quite persistent at times.

    You mention that you have a definite hardening to your breast. If this persists, it might be worth having another word with your GP, just to be sure.

    Kindest regards,
