I'VE ONLY WATCHED THE CHILDREN ON ST.JUDE TALK ABOUT IT AND THEY HURT, NO SENSE DRESSING IT UP LIKE A GIRL AND CALLING IT A BOY. JUST FROM WHAT I SAW THEM GO THRU, IT DOES HURT, BUT BROTHER IF THOSE LIL CHIDREN CAN DO IT THEN I KNOW YOU CAN. YOUR ANGELS WILL BE SURROUNDING YOU.....AND MY LOVE

I don't know anything but that it hurts !!!! but like she said, if the children can do it then you sure can !!!! I saw it done on "Greys Anatomy".

Hey Tattman
They are doing it to rule out one of the B cell Non-Hodgkins lymphomas that are more common in people with Hep C..and I remember you said you have some abnormalities in your blood count. I imagine thats why they are doing the bone marrow biopsy. Honestly Ive done several of these as a resident and seen many more..you will feel pressure but no pain...when they "aspirate" the marrow you MAY get some electric shock like pains down your legs but ONLY for a quick second. Then your iliac crest will be sore for 2-3 days

Thank you all so much for this info, I just now got from My Blood drain crap,Once again thank YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Love and Respects John & Anna

I assistted a Doc once on a man. They wanted me to have one done but I refused, it is painful, sometimes the patient can pass out or feel hot around the neck. They wanted to check to see if I had lieucemia I cann't spell sorry, That disease runs in my family

My Dear Brother, i hate it that you have to have this test done, I lucked out last year and they did'nt do it after talking about it, but I've heard it is very uncomfortable but we must do what ever it takes to keep on fighting for our lives!!! When are they talking about doing it??? I hope the blood drag was'nt too rough on ya today. You are in my prayers !! BlueEyed

I have had numerous bone marrow biopsies. I had leukemia 20 years ago. Unfortunately, they do hurt, and they hurt like hell. Fortunately the pain is only for a few minutes. Make sure they drug you up. Are they giving you a choice to have it done in the sternum or the hip? I personally chose the hip because I didn't want to see it coming. They will probably put a pressure bandage on it afterwards and make you lie still for several hours.
