Dec 09, 2022
After a bone marrow aspiration, you’ll need to keep the area around your bandage clean and dry for at least 24 hours. Your medical team will tell you when you can remove the bandage.
Most people feel some pain around where the needle was inserted for a few days. You may feel back pain when you bend over or pain that extends down the back of your leg. Many people also develop mild bruising on their lower back or buttocks in the first week after a bone marrow aspiration.
