The Tenex FAST procedure is designed to be comfortable and minimally painful. Since it’s done under local anesthesia, you won’t feel pain during the procedure itself. The insertion of the microtip and the removal of diseased tissue are performed with precise control and real-time ultrasound imaging.
After the procedure, some patients may experience mild soreness similar to what you might feel after a flu shot or a blood draw. This usually resolves in a few days and can be managed with non-prescription pain medication. Unlike traditional surgery, which often involves significant post-op pain and swelling, Tenex offers a smoother, more tolerable recovery.
