If the skin looks OK and there is no redness, discharge, swelling or inflammation, and if the pain does not feel it is spread in that area, some local pain exactly at the spot where the needle entered is not uncommon.
For me a bit of pain and a slight discomfort carried for more than a week. The worst pain was in the first 5 days after the biopsy. After two weeks there was a bit of discomfort, but no pain.
If you feel that the pain is too much, it is safer to contact your doctor and ask them to see you. It doesn't pay off to endure through pain and it might even not be safe.
