Depends: For most superficial sites, if done properly, you should be fine by the time you get back to your car (no different than getting a blood draw) with around 5% patients experience some soreness for a few days. For deeper sites requiring image guidance, there may be a bit more soreness and you may be held for a few hours of observation after the procedure.
