The side effects are mainly soreness. Generally, you are either knocked out or given local anesthesia to numb the area. Since a large needle is inserted into the bone to get the marrow, there is a certain degree of soreness afterwards. It generally is handled with over the counter pain medications such as Advil or Tylenol. Marrow is regenerated by your body, so the loss of a little is no problem. There have been a few isolated instances in which proper sterilization procedures were not strictly adhered to and the donor developed an infection. These are generally handled with an antibiotic. To give marrow to help save another persons life is one of the most wonderful things one person can do for another.

What they do is take a extensive needle and after putting it into your pelvis--by way of your decrease back--they suck out the bone marrow, often they try this in 2 websites--one left one suitable. it is very painful so each and every each and every now and then they could desire to apply a sedative sort drug to place you out for a couple of minutes. there'll be discomfort interior the section from the place they took the marrow for some million month. After that there'll be no long term impression in any respect. once you're a journey you're able to try this. The attempt for registering is entirely a familiar blood draw and not painful. i urge you to sign up, as some day you're able to desire this for your self or a kinfolk member.

I had a spinal tap a few years ago. I was surprised how much it *didn't* hurt. They have a new technique that is much less painful than the old one. It involves curving your back, so you might want to do some stretches or yoga if you plan to donate.

Donating is painful but the pain is temporary. It has risks, just like everything else in life!

I've heard it hurts. I think I would do it if I knew I was a match for someone though.
