I was not given local anaesthetic or sedatives. I think they would have offered me sedatives, but the whole deal would have taken 3 or 4 times as long. They might have wanted my pain response to tell them they had missed. The pain was only during the jolts; when the treatment was over, I put back on my shoes and socks, and walked home (under a mile). I can take pain; but I'll fkin scream and swear if I need to scream and swear. Basically, if I can stand the pain and not pass out, then I'd rather not be numb while some sawbones is hacking away at me.
