Hello,
This is my first posting. I've been diagnosed with anemia and my hematologist has suggested a bone marrow biopsy. This has me very nervous as I have heard it is a really painful procedure. I asked him if I could have light sedation and he said it wasn't necessary. I don't know if I'm over reacting or if having this procedure doesn't warrant sedation. I'm thinking of getting a second opinion and seeing if there are other physicians who would use conscious sedation or something similar. I'd like to hear what others have to say. Thank you.
Hello I hope im not too late on my reply. I had a bone marrow test couple months ago and im sorry to say but it was pretty bad. Im due for another one next month and im thinking of asking if they can comletely put me to sleep. Keep me posted. Good luck!
Thanks,
