You need to consult a doctor preferably a general physician and get a bone marrow test done. A healthcare professional will insert a needle into the bone to take out a portion of the marrow present inside the bone.You may feel some pressure or brief pain while the sample is being taken. It helps in the diagnosis of cancers and several other bone marrow disorders.
