Which Medication Should I Ask For My Bone Marrow Biopsy?
Ahoy, shipmates. I’m having another bone marrow biopsy on Tuesday in the doctors office. No hospital setting..
I believe. It’s 6 months since my SCT. I would like to know what medication should I ask for so that the biopsy is not so painful. My bones are very soft. Usually, they need to work very hard to get samples. My left side is the only side they can receive the necessary samples. Thank you all for your help. Wishing you a blessed weekend with smooth sailings.
Ask for versed. You are alert but don’t remember. Do you take pain meds at home? That should work post procedure 🦋
Greetings from Alaska all of my bone marrow biopsies are done by a radiologist at the hospital. That way I’m on the conscious sedation along with pain medication. I had a bad experience in a doctors office where they tried three times and could not get bone marrow sample so now that’s the Only way I will consent to a bone marrow biopsy.
Ask for sedation. I have had them with and without sedation and wouldn't do it without sedation again. Best wishes!
Hi, I just had my 3rd bone marrow biopsy this week. Received versed and fentanyl and it was painless! Also had floroscopy/ ct scan guided. No reason there should be pain! We suffer enough with our diagnoses! Good luck
Mine was done at a hospital with a radiologist and a doc to administer anaethesia. I had "conscious sedation". I love this , have had it several times. Puts me out like a light but quickly wears off after. Sorry I don't know the specific drug they use for it.
Because Bone Marrow Biopsy Is Soooo Painful, Why Haven’t Doctors Addressed This Issue?
