Because it feels so good when you stop

[stephbg]

Have just tried an electrical stimulation pain device, the idea being you zap yourself where it hurts and endorphins rush in and you feel all better. I rather suspect more finesse is required than suggested by the instructions.


I quite deliberately described it as a pain device rather than a pain-relieving device.

Mixed results. I now feel a bit patchy, and some bits are decidedly more swollen than before. Perhaps if I take it with me into the bath I'll get a better all-over effect.

The device has the rather untrustworthily enthusiastic name of "Pain(r)Gone". Are they trying to claim "Pain" as a registered trademark?

I once bought the bobbly masseur sandals and found them painful to wear, so stopped wearing them regularly. I did on the other hand, since I still had them, occasionally put them on for a few minutes at a time, because after wearing them for that time the sensation of stepping onto nice soft carpet was utter bliss

Perhaps it's better suited to recreational use.
