Why Back Ache After Bone Marrow Puncture Needle

Nov 18, 2022

Generally, the puncture points selected for bone marrow puncture are the anterior superior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac crest, spinous process, sternum, etc., and spinal spinous process puncture is rarely selected. If the spinous process puncture point is selected, local pain can be understood, but generally will not last for a week, and local puncture site infection can be observed.

For puncture in other parts, it can be said that low back pain has nothing to do with bone marrow puncture, so don't assume that low back pain must be caused by bone marrow puncture. It is suggested to improve X-ray or ultrasound examination, and first exclude common diseases causing low back pain, such as urinary calculi, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain and so on.
