Anyone been in lots of pain following this procedure?
I had it done a couple of weeks ago and was fine but needed it repeating as the nodes were missed with the needle so today she took 5 samples and wow the after pain is something else.
Hi there, it can be terribly painful, can't it. Mine bruised very badly and took a long time to heal. Hope you are feeling better soon. Best wishes
Thank you, I do believe the swelling/restriction is now easing which is good.
Take care x
