Answers:
When I got mine, it was probably not the worst thing I've ever gone through, but I've also been through a lot!. They do a local anesthetic and numb the area they want to biopsy!. In all honesty, you can still feel it, but it's not too bad!. It's like a dull achy feeling!. It feels like a huge, thick needle, but it's really not!.

They do give you sedatives!. I was talking to the nurse about her rings when the doctor was digging away at my spine!. Ha ha! That's how sedated I was!.

The pain afterward was probably the worst out of the whole ordeal!. I'd say on the good ol' pain scale, 4 our of 10!. Again, the dull achiness!. Nothing a little MS Contin didn't fix!. I'm sure Tylenol would have done the trick, but the hospital just got a little morphine happy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hi honey, sorry to hear about your troubles!. i think you deserve the truth at a time like this so i'm not being cruel!. my step-daughter had one done last year and like the lady before said you do get a small anaesthetic but she said it was still very uncomfortable!. the GOOD news is it gave the doc's enough information to determine her treatment and after what seems like a very long time we finally have her back to normal!. she,s out having a driving lesson just now and hopes to pass her test before she turns 20!.

good luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi! I've never had one done but my father did!. It isn't the most comfortable thing in the world, and you will have a antistatic, so you'll be out cold!. If you have any questions you could email me if you want!. !. !. best wishes xWww@Answer-Health@Com

Its a painful procedure but the duration is short and they will give you painkillers after the procedure!. you can find some info here

the only thing I know is they only do a local antistatic!. They will tell you whats going on and you will have a VERY sore back afterwards!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
