I had a core biopsy,and it was no problem.It was explained to me very well what to expect,and apart from the noise(reminded me of a nail gun) it was not at all painful I had a very small amount of bruising and almost no pain after.I certainly didn't need Panadol.My experience on the day was,I had the local which was fine,then the radiographer explained what he was doing,and that I would hear some loud noises.I can't remember now but I think I had 3 core biopsies.It was all over very quickly and I just got up and went home.Thamks Robyn
