So, ive been giving blood and plasma for years now, and I like the idea of helping people in a way that I know im actually achieving what I set out to, unlike donations to charities that could end up lining some warlords pocket or just paying the wages of the boss of the charity. Anyways I was thinking I would have a try at giving bone marrow, So everywhere I go I hear that bone marrow donation HURTS, thats fine im a big boy and can deal with a bit of pain, but I cant seem to find anything conclusive on how debilitating it is, Can I go back to work climbing up and down ladders at work the next day? Im a carpentry apprentice and I work in a small family business, so not being off too long is important to me and getting back to it is a priority. If anyone has done the donation or knows someone who has could you share your experience?
