Core biopsy - does it hurt?

After nearly 4 weeks of waiting I have an appointment for a core biopsy next week. I am just wondering will I be ok to drive myself home from the hospital? I know they use local anaesthetic but does it hurt afterwards? Thanks. Xx

I have had 2 core biopsies and had no problems driving afterwards.Slight tenderness for couple of days.

Hi Frances

 

My reply is the same as lilac, I had 2 done and you will be fine to drive home.

 

They freeze you first so not too bad at all.

 

After the numbness wears off it is tender for a few days though

 

All the best
