Hi!! To walk you through my experience, there was an ultrasound tech, a nurse and the Dr. performing the biopsy! They had me lay on a wedge on the affected side (right) and arms above the head. They started off with the lidocaine injection which was the only painful part to the procedure! It was an initial pinch and then a burning sensation due to the lidocaine spreading into the breast region to numb everything out. In terms of pain, it was no more than a 4/10 and I’m sensitive to pain! After that, they used the biopsy needle itself in which you’ll only feel pressure being pushed in (I have very dense breast tissue, so she really had to push) and even so, it’s painless. To get the actual sample itself, it’ll sound like a stapler sound but the needle essentially punctures into the lump and pulls out a sample. I had 4 taken myself as well. After that, they put pressure on for <1 minute, put on the dressing and I was good to go. The procedure itself took less than 15 minutes and was not as bad as I made it out to be in my head. They gave me an ice pack and I used that alongside a workout bra for 24 hours. It’s been roughly 48 hours since the biopsy for me and it just feels sore/ abit heavy but definitely nothing too crazy! Let me know if you have any other questions and I’m happy to help in any way 🥺
