I had a bone marrow aspiration on Monday. Not for diagnosis or disease. It's part of a plan.

It's not nearly as bad as one might expect. The whole thing took 10 minutes from laying down to standing up, and I walked across town a couple of hours after. I'd give the worse discomfort a 4 out of 10, and it was just a weird cramp in my butt and leg that lasted about 5 seconds. Aside from the prick of the anesthetic needle, no sharp pain at all.
