I've had two BMBs and was extremely nervous about the first, expecting a lot of pain and trauma. However, I had no real difficulty with either. They numbed me with a liberal amount of Lidocaine beforehand in each case but no other sedative or anaesthesia. During the biopsy itself, I felt uncomfortable pressure and felt like the muscles in my back were about to cramp from the tension but I was okay. It was over quickly with no lingering pain, even after the Lidocaine wore off. I have my third coming up soon and continue to be nervous because of the horror stories I've heard from others.
