How painful are prostate biopsies?

Pretty bad when they stick you with the "deadening" shot and then it's super duper uncomfortable for the next 5-10 minutes. That numbing shot helps a little bit but I felt all 12 biopsy (3 at a time) needles. You survive it but then you're left with the nightmare of the next 6-8 weeks.


I think treatment all depends on age, gleason score, etc. Each guy will have their own decision to make because each one has it's own unique circumstances.
