Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Grace, I'm sorry you were one of the few people who have pain after biopsy. Sites I went to said that severe pain after biopsy should be reported. One said that those with severe pain should be hospitalized. Fortunately, you say you're feeling better. Be sure to tell your doctor that you're taking Liv 52 -- or anything else by mouth, or that permeates the skin. Natural doesn't mean safe, as you probably know. Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 The pain I experienced was not in my / from my biopsy site it was in the muscle spasm in my Left shoulder. Yes, my biopsy site was tender and uncomfortable but not overly so. And I am not and will not take anything by mouth without all of my physicians knowing about it. I promise :-) Grace > > Grace, I'm sorry you were one of the few people who have pain after biopsy. > Sites I went to said that severe pain after biopsy should be reported.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi Grace, When I had my second biopsy three years ago I had a similar experience to you- intense pain in my shoulder- I was told that it was due to displacement of blood from the site of the biopsy which had moved to the shoulder area- nice to know the reason but painful all the same! Good luck for your recuperation and let us all know how you get on- we will be thinking of you, amazing53 <amazing53@...> wrote: The pain I experienced was not in my / from my biopsy site it was in the muscle spasm in my Left shoulder.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi and all ~ It is good to know I am not the only one - I have had muscle spasms in my neck before but never in my L shoulder - Yikes no fun! It has settled down quite a bit today - What I noticed today is I can't yet take really deep breathes - feeling tension in the area of the biopsy stops me at a certain point - I guess the muscles in my abdomen will heal and it will get easier. I have a whirlwind week end planned - am heading to San Diego friday am for my sister's SHHH! surprise 50th birthday - 40 of her closest frinds from all over are coming on Sat. The weekend is planned to a tee - no slip ups - even down to me spending time with dear friends in San Diego, spending friday night with them, the party 10am - 1pm on Sat - and then that evening alot of the party people and my friends too are going to see a play my neice and nephew are in at their college - Cinderella! Sunday my sister's church group is planning another B day party. It is going to be fun being with everyone!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi Grace, I also had intense pain after my biopsy (right shoulder and arm). They warned me before hand about this pain and attributed it to a nerve connected to the liver. Apparently, it is pretty common. I still get a sharp pain every once in awhile and wonder if it is related to liver. Good luck with your recovery.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Before I had my gallbladder out I used to have what I refered to as electric shock type shooting pains that came from below where they did the biopsy and shot upwards - Along with a panic attack - my b/p heading north - I would make a mad dash to my doctor thinking I was having a heart attack, they would do a EKG and then they would tell me - no, your heart is fine. I don't get them as often now - but they still occur on rare occasion. I had a few last night. I am still on b/p meds but my b/p is now around or under what the md's say is normal. 6 yrs ago when I had my gallbladder out they were supposed to do the liver biopsy at the same time - well for whatever reason the surgeon decided not to. So now it is finally done. In , Hale <shannonkhale@...> wrote: > > Hi Grace, > I also had intense pain after my biopsy (right shoulder and arm).

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 One more question regarding anatomy - when they did my liver biopsy ~ what all does the stylet they use to obtain the 3 core biopsy's go thru. Skin, Fat, muscles, ribs, lungs and then the liver? And do they take the 3 core samples from different parts of the liver or all from the same place?
