Can Bone Marrow Biopsy Causes Any Effects To Iliac Crest Fracture?
I will be having my third bone marrow biopsy for multiple myeloma tomorrow. I have a fracture on my left illiac crest and am very concerned about another biopsy doing more damage to my bones. I need the biopsy because I will be going on a trial drug and it is required. Should I take medication before the procedure to calm me down?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history.
As per your query I don't feel that biopsy will lead to bone fracture. You can surely go ahead with the biopsy without any worry and i hope that the trial drug gives you all positive responses.
