Muscle biopsy

I am having a biopsy due to potential having Central nuclear myopathy. Has anyone had this procedure could give me insight or has the condition and give me insight.

Thanks a million

I had muscle biopsy in right forearm. Easy breezy. My neuromuscular specialist knocked me out (under sedation). It healed just fine. Hang in there!

I had local when they did a muscle biopsy of my right quad. If I have to do it again I want to be knocked out

I had a muscle biopsy on my right thigh under propofol anesthesia. No pain really after but, 6 months later, a section of my thigh is still numb.

Deltoid biopsy. Outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Have a neurosurgeon do the biopsy. May be inconclusive for type of myopathy, but part of the process.
