I have bad news for you Johnny. Getting into the bone isn't the worst part. Taking the aspiration (near the end of the procedure) is the most painful part. As they didn't get into your bone you won't have experienced this.
Having said this...I have had BMB both with and without sedation and it's not awfully painful when you are awake but my thinking is that if you have to have them every few months for possibly years to come, why put up with ANY pain when you don't have to? You don't get medals for being stoic. Conscious sedation wears off in a very short period of time and I've been able to go back to work in the afternoon after having a BMB under sedation in the late morning.
As you said, we are all different but I just don't see the point of having pain if you don't need to have it.
