I had a bone marrow biopsy 5 months ago and the site is still tender, was diagnosed with aplastic anemia.

it's a horrible procedure. Doctors who say it's not that bad have obviously never received it themselves. LA does virtually nothing.

My husband had no problem with the bone marrow biopsy, just sore afterwards. He has had two in two years. The results are the real fear, he has MDS with trisomy 8, SF3B1 and DNMT3A , the second one showed a new mutation of tp53. The retracrit injections don't seem to be raising his hemoglobin levels of 9.0 anymore. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

my RDW has been increasing its now at 17.5, Dr is sending me for CRP, Immunoglobulin and serum electrophoresis tests, but no one is really telling me what's going on?

Will the patient be sedated for this test? Goodness gracious, I’d hope so. 😳

Just listening to this hurt me. I am glad they have decided once again they can hold off on one for me.

my husband whilst being treated for AML had several, the anticipation was worse than the actual test for him

I had aml last year and have 6 bone marrow biopsy since , it’s a life saving procedure and a must nevertheless not a nice procedure at all! I don’t find them painful anymore but think that’s because the area is numb now 😂😂😂😂

Why don’t they use like conscious sedation for that like they do for say a colonoscopy?

@Ziggy191 :
I had one done... There's reason to dread it, but no reason to want to skip it. It is necessary, very necessary if you happen to need it.

I had one years ago when I was diagnosed with myeloma I didn’t think it was uncomfortable more like a strange pulling sensation but thank you for this video it was nice to hear an in-depth explanation 😁😁

Saw plenty of these when we used to go with the Haematologist to make the marrow smears - I never want one done!!!

As a myeloma patient, I’ve had half a dozen bone marrow biopsies. Honestly they really are not that bad. The minor procedures team at the Marsden Sutton amazingly make it fun, I’d say I laughed harder than I hurt last time!
