I had my first biopsy today too!...My experience so far has been much better thsan yours..The urologist gave me a local anesthisia that numbed the area and killied most of the pain.....My pain was maybe 1 out of 10 and just occured when a core sample was taken...I am a little sore in the area and bleeding through my urine a little, both of which are expected for 2-3 days....My biopsy results are expected by Tue afternoon...The Doc took 18 core samples in the area of the prostate that is discolored, appears hardend, and where, typically 95% of prostate cancer occurs...He's Hoping For The Best For You And Me!....
