My necks still feels uncomfortable from needle biopsy.

How long does discomfort last. I have been taking tylenol. It's not terrible, but sometimes it will start to feel alittle more bothersome then at other times.

When I woke up and got up today it seemed more bothered.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hi Hopeful Girl

Did you have a biopsy on lymph nodes or thyroid nodules? When I had a biopsy on my nodules I was soar for a few days . When I had a biopsy on my lymph nodes I was fine after 24 hours. Hope you are recovering well :)

Biopsy was on nodules

The biopsy was on thryoid nodule, not lymph nodes.

Still feels alittle wierd but looks ok, and tylenol seems to help.

Thank you for well wishes.

My neck was uncomfortable

My neck was uncomfortable for 4 days after my FNA. My nodule was large though and I was stuck 6 times. I hope you are feeling better!

The biopsy itself hurt a

The biopsy itself hurt a bit, and I hate needles so I didn't watch or count how many times I was stuck with the needle. I was slightly bruised after and mostly uncomfortable when I would swallow for close to a week. My enjoyment of coffee was hindered for a bit.
