It was not bad. Mine was CT guided. They did the imaging and then taped a steel rod to my side in the area where he was going to do the biopsy. I went back into the CT to make sure of placement. I felt the injection to numb the area but after that there was no pain. It was over very quickly. I had to lie on my right side for 2 hrs afterwards and that was the hard part. I hope the procedure goes well for you.
