FU on possible spinal tap - having a bone marrow biopsy Thursday
#5
Donated. I think it's basically the same procedure. They're going in on the hip/butt?

They gave me liquid Valium if I recall correctly. Later, I found out that most places put you under general for this sort of thing.

Hurt for a day or so and then just a bit of soreness and the occasional mild shooting pain for the next few days when I shifted my weight. Yes, I could drive the next day. Was easily tired for a few days after.

I've heard some people say that they think most of the pain comes from expectation and tensing up, so going with general anesthesia leads to a quicker and less painful recovery.

From many hospital experiences: The key to a smooth procedure and successful recovery with the least drama and scarring is to never let a resident go anywhere near you.
