Hi Coats 4 Goalposts. Firstly I hope everything turns out okay and secondly I haven't actually had a liver biopsy, although I have had kidney biopsy. I expect they are pretty similar, though and in my experience if you can avoid having it done then I would. With mine i basically got stabbed in the kidneys, twice, with a f**k off long needle. After that - which is actually more uncomfortable than painful due to the local anaesthetic - I had to spend six hours lying on my back with the pain gradually become worse and worse as the local wore off. I also had to spend an extra night in hospital as a precaution as I was still pissing blood after this. The good news is that the next day I felt hardly any pain at all. Hope this doesn't put you off too much:-)
