This sounds similar to the kind of pain that Bruce has described after his BMB's. Tho Bruce has never passed out, he has talked about pain coming in waves for several weeks afterward. He has also been told he has extremely hard bones. He had a "better" BMB in a university medical center last month, his 4th, and because of his prior experiences, he demanded more than lidocaine for that one -- they gave him morphine and ativan. For whatever reason, he had much less post BMB pain. And he didn't do much running around afterward, because of the drugs, all he wanted to do was lie down.
