I had a bone marrow biopsy 5 days ago. How long does a bone marrow biopsy take to heal?

Most post-biopsy pain resolves within 2-3 days although I've heard of patients complaining up to a few weeks if they have had bleeding complications.
Usually a couple of days if done properly.
It takes a few days for the skin to heal; the bone may take a little longer, but the biopsy is only about 2 mm wide, and maybe 1/2 inch long.
Hope it doesn’t hurt anymore!

It should be healed in seven to ten days.
