I had a bone marrow biopsy when I was 19 yrs old. I am now 65. At 19 I was diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma. That was one of the many procedures I went through. Very painful. Never thought I would live past 30 and I'm still here. Went through radiation beat it but it reoccured 3 yrs later when I was pregnant. Had chemo and cured. I am a fighter and a survivor ❤❤❤

I have to say I had lung cancer and had one lung completely removed. The recovery was very painful and 7 years I have struggled with damages done in the removal. But I’m here against the odds😊

Anesthesiologist are your best friends. They are the unsung heroes of surgery.

I’m 30 and had 7 heart surgeries when I was 24-25. In my life I’ve had 20 various surgeries and my 2 open heart surgeries with chest tubes and my 3 thoracotomies with chest tubes all within a year of each other were the most painful I’ve experienced. They literally saw your chest in half, stop your heart and then when surgery is done and your heart starts again they tie your sternum together with metal wires. Not pleasant but I’m so grateful to be alive ❤

My mom has had three of these. For her hip replacement, once she was home, she never took a pain pill. I also got to watch her oncologist give her a bone marrow biopsy. She just laid there and didn't make a sound. The woman's a badass❤

I feel like scoliosis corrective surgery should have been pretty high on that list. Having your entire back cut open, over 20 screws drilled into your spine, and your crooked spine straightened with what is pretty much a surgical ratchet is incredibly painful. After my surgery, I was in so much pain (and I was on Dilaudid AND Fentanyl), my entire body was pretty much into shock for the first 2 weeks after. I was bedriden for a month and it took 3 months before I could go back to school. Oh and I gained 6 inches in height 😬

I had number three, a hemroidectomy. Before the surgery the Dr warned me “it won’t kill you but you’ll wish you were dead”. Truer words were never spoken

[vickiehanson]

I had a hysterectomy. Lots of women go through it but mine was one for the books. It was performed before I was sedated. I was paralyzed, could not move a muscle nor could I cry out for them to stop. I was totally aware of what was happening. What music was playing and the conversation topics of the doctors. A brutally hellish experience I would not wish on my worst enemy.

[donnafaulkner]

I had my hemorrhoids removed years ago and the first bowel movement was completely painless. I remarked to another doctor who knew him how painless the procedure was and his response was, ”that’s why they call him the rear admiral”.

As a Home Health nurse I feel knee replacement is more painful post op according to patients, especially since swelling is more pronounced in knee replacements and physical therapy continues the pain and is often described to be like torture

[TheBigman]

I haven’t had any of these surgeries to compare but I must say that having my left leg amputated was the worst pain injave ever felt in my life and I have had over 20 different surgeries in my life. Not only the surgery, but the continued phantom pains are something that still knocks me down from time to time.

[camillerivera]

I had a bone marrow biopsy years ago. Thank the Lord I was put under general anesthesia. I knew enough about them to know I didn’t want to be awake. Then, a few years later when I was in nursing school, I was in a patients room while a doctor performed one on a patient at bedside. The patient was WIDE AWAKE! This poor old man just writhed in pain. Broke my heart. I found out that some hospitals put patients out and some don’t.

[jamescraggs]

I had surgery on my left shoulder and the recovery was the most pain I’ve ever experienced. Pain is very personal and very subjective.

[karynsuepohlmeier]

I'd like to give some advice on opioid induced constipation. I've had at least 25 surgeries, 4 were neck surgeries and two were C-sections.
I'm one of those patients that had to be depooped by the doctors but when I found out that eating a ton of watermelon every single day, I've not had to worry about opioid constipation. I eat at least 4 cups a day of watermelon and it has been life changing for me. I know people are going to say, that's too much sugar but really, would you rather be constipated, no me! I'll eat the watermelon.

[cgcorzine]

I had two total hip replacements 7 weeks apart. The first surgery gave me so much relief that I begged my surgeon to squeeze me in ASAP for the other hip. I was back at work cashiering at my son’s deli within 6 weeks.
I’m 71 & walk my dog two miles after standing for 6 hours. ( only took pain killers for several days post surgery)

[mistyleejackson]

I have had 25 surgeries so far and none of them was on your list of a lot of pain! I have had my stomach blow up and I had to be rush in to surgery when I got to the hospital! And that one beat child labor! Oh yes it did! Dr's are wonderful and can help people but ONLY GOD CARED ME THROUGH 25 SURGERIES! NO MORE TO SAY!! 42 yr old who loves jb

[bhartronft]

I have had two bone marrow biopsies, totally awake. No pain at all, prayed my way through them. Prayers work!

[manybookslittletime]

I had a right acromioplasty with some rotator cuff repair. My surgeon said that it would take me, a then-55 y.o. woman 9 to 12 months of intense physical therapy 3 times weekly before I'd have full use of my right shoulder. After one month, I saw him in the office. He asked me where my sling was. I showed him that I'd completely recovered full range of motion and was pain free. He was gobsmacked. He said that he did shoulder surgery on young, elite athletes who still wore the sling during their second month, could only move their upper arms an inch away from their sides, and begged for more percocet!
Each person's experiences with surgeries vary greatly.

Dear @LucidMed, as a physician who specializes in disease of bone marrow and who has performed hundreds of bone marrow biopsies, I beg of you to not continue to spread the myth that a bone marrow biopsy is #1 most painful surgical procedure. FIRSTLY, this is not even a surgical procedure. It is a simple, bedside procedure that is most often done in an outpatient office. In the majority of patients, it requires only local anesthetic like lidocaine with zero analgesics, not tylenol, NSAIDS and certainly not opioids. You are correct that we cannot numb the inside of the bone and there can be substantial pain during the procedure. However, many patients do not have any pain and those that do have pain (it can be severe) describe it a a quick sharp pain, similar to getting snapped with a rubber band, very sharp onset and very quick relief. When I prepare/consent a patient for a bone marrow biopsy, I spend 10% of my time talking about risk/benefits/alternatives and about 90% addressing fear and anxiety about pain. I think this really helps with patients' ultimate pain experience when they have realistic expectations and lower anxiety going into the biopsy. Again, I am NOT denying anyone who has experienced severe pain during a bone marrow biopsy, just saying it is nowhere near the pain experienced by many other operations as you described in your videos. SECONDLY, perpetuating the myth that a bone marrow biopsy is so horrific has multiple deleterious effects on health care, such as patients refusing the procedure or demanding it to be done in a radiology setting (CT/fluoro) exposing themselves to unnecessary radiation. Also, this myth can discourage people from volunteering to become bone marrow donors. These days, all we need is a buccal swab to test for HLA compatibility and if you happen to be a match, we harvest the stem cells from the blood through apheresis and almost never harvest from the bone marrow cavity. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk. Please, consider volunteering to become a marrow donor.

A co-worker of mine was a donor of bone marrow.

All I can say after seeing what she “volunteered” to do—I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Don’t even think she was a relative or friend of the person she donated her bone marrow to. Brave person!
