      Hi

      I had a fine needle aspiration biopsy on enlarged lymph node and haven't been feeling great since. I have mild flu like symptoms and sometimes a dull ache in the back of my leg and constantly tired.  Can this be related? 

      Thanks

          I had a needle aspiration biopsy but didn’t have any side effects. The biopsy was not accurate, and they had surgical removal of node, and it showed, it was positive for melanoma. It was my experience. Good Luck!

                I was sore and swollen in the area of the FNA for about a week. No other symptoms. You should call your doctor and ask them, it probably isn't related.
