Biopsy--pain, bleeding and hematoma?

sailorbev

I had my second of two biopsies yesterday. The first was on my right breast a month ago and second was on my left breast. I had a large and very painful hematoma after the first biopsy, although I am not on blood thinners, aspirin, etc. I thought it was because I was initially feeling good after the biopsy and I went out to dinner. I was determined to avoid that with my second biopsy. The nurse told me I was not bleeding when I left the hospital after the second biopsy. I used ice as instructed and wore a sports bra. I had extra ice with me in a cooler for the 2 hour drive home. I rested when I got home, yet still developed a painful hematoma. A few hours later I bled through the gauze and sports bra. It was kind of scary. My husband put constant pressure on the site until it stopped bleeding. I have been in bed all day, afraid that the bleeding might start again. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
