Is having a biopsy painful

mrspiglet_2

Never had a biopsy done on my mouth but I've had Somnoplasty done (to stop snoring). They sprayed the back of my mouth with the vilest stuff to numb it (made me gag).

i had a biopsy on my kidney once and they numbed my skin before they took the piece out and i didnt feel a thing you will be fine

I have had liver biopsies and was warned how painful they are, and although it was a little uncomfortable (a bit like someone probing your innards with a finger - strange, not painful), the anaestisia was the uncomfortable bit, but hardly excruciating. Just a bit lip biting, nothing more! _pale_

I am having biopsies done on my tongue and cheek in two weeks with a local anaesthetic. Is it very painful. Wasn't too worried about the procedure itself until I heard that its the worst pain imaginable.

Does it require stitches and how long does it take.

Has anyone had this done. Grateful for any replies

Husband had this done under local anaesthetic - he says it didnt hurt. And remember, that's a MAN speaking......

My biopsy was on my neck, and has already been said the only painful bit was the anaesthetic - oh, and when they stuck my hair to my neck with the plaster and I tried to move my head :eek: .

I have been told the worst pain is from kidney stones - but am not particularly keen to find out.

Waiting for the result is the worst bit. Hope all goes well.
