Hi Gillyflower and Daylightdancer. Many thanks for your responses. It is true that I shouldn't worry until I get the results, but it's hard, isn't it? Pain is definitely not from osteoporosis as had a DEXA scan as well the other week and my bones are strong - apparently nearly 0% chance of breaking a hip in 10 years. I did wonder wryly to myself whether I would still be alive in 10 years time! The bone biopsy was to take a sample of a lesion that is between my lungs which is not giving me any trouble - it is my leg and ribs that are the problem . I had to lie on the CT scanner whilst they moved the needle in, avoiding my heart and arteries and then re-scanning quite a few timesto see if they had the right place. It is quite marvellous what they can do, isn't it? Results in 7-10 days. The consultant did mention radiotherapy for pain relief, and I've heard it works, but does it make the pain worse initially, as I have heard it can do? I will definitely try your ideas of acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Best of luck to you both xxx
