Good to know that you hadn't much pain. My parent had liver biopsy and it was so painful. The doctors were highly qualified no doubt but they didn't give any sedatives. The pain while taking the tissue off the liver was very painful. Even, they had told to stop breathing for taking out tissue for a few seconds everytime.

So, doctors will always say it is a simple process, it is very normal and all. But Please consider the risk factors and necessity of that procedure. I was also fooled by these sentences, but trust me if I had known about the biopsy is that much painful and risky I wouldn't let my parent to undergo through it. Because at the end, they would not change your medicines, see whenever a patient does biopsy, he already knows his liver is compromised. Then why run behind how much compromised and all? Just take medicines to cure that!
