One of a series of films we produced to help patients, their families and carers learn more about some of the most common tests and procedures used to diagnose and treat blood diseases.
Patients who have previously undergone these tests helped us to design the videos. Each film clearly explains what the procedure involves and addresses common issues and concerns including:
Why your doctor recommended this procedure
What you need to do to prepare
What you can expect during the procedure
What you need to do afterwards
Not every patient will be referred for all of these tests and practice may differ slightly depending on where you are treated.
Each film is available in English and also with subtitles in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, Somali, Spanish and Turkish at:

72 yrs old here. I never understood why pathologists & other MD's will do bone marrow aspiration without proper Anes. I would always give Versed 2-3 mg, and Ketamine 25mg just before the betadine skin prep. Then before the injection of the Dr.'s Local of choice I would give another 25-35 mg of Ketamine IV allowing 5 mins before the aspiration trocar was inserted. The entire procedure was carried out without pt. discomfort or memory. The pt. almost always would slowly regain consciousness while breathing spontaneously through out the procedure, frequently asking "have we started yet?" My personal feeling is it is cruel to carry out this bone marrow aspiration in any other way. Ketamine unnecessarily fell into disrepute due to anes. practioners lack of skill in its administration. I am thrilled to see it has returned with additional uses.

just had procedure done today (10/20/21). Doc used lidocaine to numb area. No actual shooting pain of any kind. Just a lot of pressure which was somewhat uncomfortable but not bad. I think the anticipation of pain was worse than the actual pain which was very minimal to none...mostly just the needle stick. I've had bowel movements that hurt worse. If I had to do it again I would.

Just had a bone marrow biopsy. it's best to have this done in the hospital in the CT lab. The a cat scan is used for placement of the biopsy needle. It's important to have Versed and fentanyl for this procedure. The nurse gave me an injection of Versed. Then they placed me on my stomach and the next thing remember is waking up in the recovery room. I have no memory of the procedure whatsoever.

@DK-he2vb 3 ай бұрын

I'm having this done in 4 days and I'm very nervous about the pain. Your explanation sounds exactly like what they told me to expect when they called me last week. She said they will decide if I need the versed or fentanyl on the day of the procedure. I told her they will know I need it as soon as they see me. Thanks for explaining it. I hope you are doing well and didn't have whatever they were testing you for. ❤

@Thankingyou1 3 ай бұрын

Make sure that the doctor who is doing the biopsy has done many of them and is well experienced. They usually use a CAT scan to place the needle for the biopsy. They should absolutely give you versed and fentanyl. I wouldn't have it done without the drugs. I literally didn't feel anything except when they started the IV.

@DK-he2vb 3 ай бұрын

@Thankingyou1 Thank you for replying! Yes, it will be done with a CT scan and I'll be on my stomach. This is the only video I've seen showing it done with the patient on the stomach. She said they will explain everything as they are doing it. I'm probably going to screenshot your comments to re-read every day this week so I can keep my anxiety about it down as much as possible. Thank you so much.

Just had mine done today (4/7/23). Not terrible but there’s some pain. Lidocaine numbs the area - there’s slight burning with that. The pressure from the drilling is uncomfortable but not super painful. The worse part is prepping and the anticipation lol. I would say 5/10 on my personal pain scale. Root canal is probably 6/10 for comparison. Achy tooth for me (without pain meds) would be a 8/10. Of course, everyone is different. Lidocaine and fentanyl is wearing off so I do feel a dull ache. Gonna pop some OTC pain meds. Good luck everyone!

@@r0mediddy congrats on the negative results!! That's great news. So I've been to 4 different specialists just to finally get a sonogram of my heart and found out my vena cava(the vein that carries blood back for the organs, legs, and lower body) is over 50% collapsed. My spleen is still swollen from it. In fact, it's even bigger and it scares me. I'm trying to find a decent cardiologist in my area and I'm most likely to get a stent or graft. It makes sense cuz I'm so tired all the time, I run out of breath really easy, my legs are holding blood, my spleen problems are swishing my other organs, and I look like I'm pregnant but starving at the same time. It's not a good look But that's where I'm at. Thanks for asking.

I've had several BMB's with aspiration and I will tell you right now, after the first one I NEVER let them get away with this local anesthetic nonsense again. That local is for your skin only...big deal. NO, I and many others that I have met thru the years had UNBELIEVABLE pain for about 15-20 seconds. After the first, I told them point blank that they would have to put me under full sedation or full blown general anesthesia. They have complied. I don't know why or how they've been getting away with this "local" crap...guess it's to save $. By the way, I live in the U.S. but thought I should alert newbies. It's my sense that about 2/3 of people who have had these invasive procedures agree with me. Good luck and Don't let them con you.

Agree with this 100%!!! I’ve had about 6 BMB’s over the past 7 years with AML AND CML. Every single one of my BMB’s have caused excruciating pain - like torture! Not acceptable. So, the past 2 BMBs I’ve gotten full sedation. I will never do another BMB without full Sedation. I have super fragile bones due to all the prednisone, so the BMB’s cause extra pain for me. Pain usually lasts 2-3 weeks. Everyone is different.
