I had 2 BMB's pre trans and 2 post trans. They were done at diff locations but were identical as far as the procedure goes. No drill and no sedation, just a local. Being sedated is obviously more of a hassle, and I was told that most patients were ok w/ the local. Both the HMO that I had at the time along w/ the blood cancer specialty clinic were and are always very matter of fact about procedures and tests, and none of mine were that bad. And related pain and discomfort will probably be diff depending on where the incision is made and the location of where the marrow sample is taken.
