Hi - here's my blog entry of my kidney biopsy. Biopsy – 14th Dec 2021 My experience was it wasn't sore. It took all day though with all the waiting around, form filling and mandatory rest afterwards. I felt the needle go in but then the anaesthetic kicked in. Afterwards, I just walked away, no recovery necessary. I carried on as usual the next day.
Hi, you may have already had your biopsy by now, but in case you haven’t this was my experience.
The biopsy was straightforward and a lot less painful than I expected - it took me a couple of days to get back to my normal self as it just felt a bit sore inside, but nothing to worry about. It didn’t interfere with anything I did at home, but I did cancel a dinner with friends the following day as I wasn’t feeling I could sit comfortably in the restaurant,
As you have to lie flat for quite a few hours afterwards in the hospital, I found it helpful to take my iPad and bluetooth headphones in to hospital with me having downloaded some programmes to watch. It made the time go a lot more quickly.
