I had a bone marrow and bone biopsy done what should I do to take the soreness out of my back?

Just to be clear, you are not asking a question directly to Dr. Oz because Mahalo is not affiliated with Dr. Oz. Your doctor should have provided you with after care instructions, you should follow those instructions exactly. Your doctor also probably prescribed Pain Relievers|pain medication which should help with the discomfort you are feeling in your back.

If you didn't receive instructions, you can always give your doctor's office a call. I did find info about bone marrow/bone biopsy after care, but make sure to ask your doctor before you try any of these tips. Ice TreatmentsApply ice 24 to 48 hours after the biopsy.

Remember check with your doctor first! Put crushed ice in a plastic bag andcover it with a Towels|towel. Place this on the biopsy area for 15 to 20minutes every hour as needed.

Don't leave the icepack on for periods longer than 20 minutes because it can cause Frostbite|frost bite. For that same reason do not sleep on the ice pack. Other TipsRest for the remainder of the day after the biopsy.

Keep the area clean and dry for 24 hours. Drink plenty of water. Be sure to take only recommended medications.

WebMD, Drugs. Com, Harvard Health and Yahoo Health recommend you call your doctor or seek treatment if:You have severe (very bad) pain in the area of the biopsy for more than 24 hours. You have any bleeding other than a small spot on the dressing.

Callif you have an increased amount of bruising after the first 24 hours. Bleeding or drainage, such as pus, from the biopsy site. If you arebleeding, put pressure on the site and call your doctor.

Swelling, redness, or warmth around the biopsy site. You have chills, a cough, feel weak and achy, have swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin. These are signs that you may have an infection.

Your skin is itchy, swollen, or has a rash. You have questions or concerns about your illness, biopsy, or medicine.
