I had a Liver Biopsy yesterday, actually felt pretty good afterwards , Today however is a different story....wow. There's so much I need to do and I'm to sore to do anything.
Most patients fully recover from a liver biopsy in 1 to 2 days. Pain at the biopsy site is the most frequent risk of percutaneous liver biopsy. It happens in about 20% of patients. Tylenol can help. Be careful of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) pain relievers as they can interfere with blood clotting and should never be taken by a cirrhotic patient. You should ask your gastro what pain meds to take.
