then yes I have had it done. They place electic conduction pads on
different places on your muscles to see if they respond to the
electrical stimulus. It tingles and sometimes if the setting is high
enough it can get uncomfortable but not really painful. They also use
something similair during therapy called a "dynatron" and THAT was
sometimes bordering on pain (I used to tease my therapist that she was a
secret sadist!) LOL no wonder they called her "the drill sargent!"
