Actually I am glad that I had only one biopsy, this was more then enough for me. I had a massive bleeding, I was sensitive to the antibiotic ointment, it took a long time to heal, and for a couple of months the pain disturned my sleep and activities that streach the area such as walking, going down the stairs, or yoga. Sometimes the area is still annoying and it has been almost a year since my biopsy.
Did you actually have the biopsy called "sural"? This one is deep and cuts the sural nerve, and provides axonal samples.

The skin biopsy is very shallow and should not bleed or cause lingering problems. The sural however, is quite brutal and can cause problems that last for years.
