bone marrow biopsy-still have discomfort

I was wondering how long I should be experiencing discomfort from the bone marrow biopsy. I had it done three weeks ago, and I still feel achiness in my tailbone. I think it's driving that is causing the irritation. After sitting a while in the driver's seat, I must bend at just the right angle (my husband's car has lumbar support, which is even worse cuz it hits right there) that, after a while, I start aching.

I'd been ignoring it, but when I realized that the bmb had been a screw-up, I got to wondering what chance there is for there to be complications (if the doc botched the sample, could he have caused lasting problems?). I still have a scab over the incision area (so a "big pimple" type bump), and if I probe around it, it does still very slightly bruised.

Is this normal? Will I feel achiness for a long time? I've had the luxury of lying down when it's gotten too achy, but I start a fulltime job on Monday.
