Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Since I'm facing the prospect of a biopsy, can you please tell me why you thought this recent one was so much more comfortable? Was it done in a different manner than the previous one? Thanks. Biopsy Finished Friday I had my liver biopsy and it was so much more comfortable than the one I had 21 years ago.I also was tested for genotype and viral load in my blood.So---I should find out what I'm up against this week from the Hepatologist.

Well 21 years ago they didn't give you any pain medication before the procedure,and it hurt.This time they did it after pain meds were in effect and I didn't feel any discomfort.Only about 10 minutes later I had some discomfort and got an immediate pain med.This whole deal is no more painful than a visit to the dentist,all you feel are a couple of needle sticks.
