Is it normal to still have pain in breast after having a vacuum biopsy over 2 weeks ago
Mine was quite sore for several weeks. They took two samples and it's like being punched with each one! Mine was on the side so maybe more bruising and pain as it was so close to my chest wall. I was sore for several weeks and my lump grew from the swelling (which they warned me about). I was in more pain with biopsy than lumpectomy.
