Too many years of beating my body to death has led me here. I'm looking at either a minimally invasive Tenex procedure (if I am a good candidate) or a maximally invasive surgical cleanout and lengthening of my achilles tendons.
I saw one of the main foot and ankle guys at UNC Ortho this morning. He doesn't do the Tenex procedure but two of his colleagues at the UNC tendon center do. He's referring me to them for a consult. He thinks it will work for me but it's really up to the other two docs. If not, then I go back to him for a bigger procedure. Either way, somethings gotta give. Been hurting for a year and a half this time and this isn't my first rodeo with achilles issues.
Anyone else been through Tenex?
