@nomorepainllc: Breast Cancer Testing Option: Breast Tissue Biopsy. A breast biopsy is an outpatient procedure that removes a small sample of the breast tissue for examination for breast cancer. For most procedures, the patient is awake and the area in question is numbed with a needle injection. It'll feel like a pinch initially and then pressure afterwards. The physician and nurse will be communicating with you during this process. Once the procedure is over, after care directions will be provided. An ice pack might be given for the discomfort and limited lifting is prescribed for a certain amount of time. A biopsy is often recommended when a mammogram, MRI, ultrasound, and/or any other test identifies a suspicious area. #NoMorePain365 #flipthestats #BreastCancerAwareness #hopestartswithme
