Had my first (of 3 ) biopsies in 2006.No freezing----major pain(in the ass).Led to cancer surgery. However, they freeze you now , so shouldn't be any pain.Do as doc recomends (no lifting means NO lifting).I had little discomfort and in 6-7 weeks was good as new.I was more scared of the colostmy(?) bag but when they took it out after 10-11 days, I missed the damned thing.Had my yearly checkup monday and all good.Get it early and don't worry---you supply the prostate ,let the surgeon worry about the procedure.
Good luck with the whole (sorry, couldn't resist) process. Rodney
