Yes, one gets a local anesthesia before the bone marrow test to numb that area during aspriation/biopsy. Without the local anesthesia it will be very difficult to perform this test and it is also not advisable to do it without local anesthesia.

Take a Apollo Menopausal Profile Test or Take a MUSK ANTIBODIES Test
