Does bone marrow or stem cell donation hurt?

A. Because anesthesia is used, the bone marrow collection process is virtually painless. Donors can expect to feel a little discomfort in the lower back region for several days following the procedure. Donors usually report that this minor discomfort is a small price to pay for the chance to save another person’s life. Peripheral stem cell donors rarely experience discomfort either during or after the procedure.
