Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Some degree of pain is common after liver biopsy.
But by your description, it seems that your husband is having extreme pain. And this is unlikely after liver biopsy. It is mostly seen due to complications like intestinal injury, hematoma formation, infection at biopsy site etc.
So better to consult his doctor and rule out these complications.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
