Bone marrow Biopsy

by lady2shoes, Jul 18, 2008 12:01AM
I would like to hear from others that have had bone marrow Biopsies. I had my second one today. I always thought that it was very painful and I am sure it is when some doctors do it but my Dr [ Dr. Ahmadi } at the Cancer Center in Murray Ky. Has done 2 on me without pain. I would like to hear from others about this subject. I have CML [ Leukemia ] and I am in remission - I have a great Dr,

I had two bone marrow biopsies, and they hurt so bad you coulda heard me screaming all the way from California :). I had AML (Leukemia) and it is in remission. I have a great Dr too, at CBCC "Comprehensive Blood And Cancer Center" in Bakersfield, California. Dr. Mukhopadhyay. I really don't see how a Dr can make a bone marrow Biopsy not hurt? A rod gets stuck into your hip down to the bone marrow. How can this not hurt, unless they put you to sleep?

Oh well, I am happy you got through it pain free, and that your in remission :). Best of luck to you,
