The exercises will be good for you. I've had the electrical treatment too, though in my case without added medicine. To me it the prickles feel kind of good, like sitting in a really hot-but-not-hot-enough-to-hurt bath. But I guess tastes differ on this, and it does take a while to get used to it in any case.
I've always liked my physical therapists. They have hardly ever hurt me and they are so obviously trying to help, it's hard not to like someone like that.
The exercises are probably what ended up fixing me up, so I definitely recommend doing them, unless they make you hurt (stabbing pain hurt, not tired muscle hurt.) Plus if one does make you hurt you should back off, but don't be afraid to try it again in a week. I had one that I flat out couldn't do at first but after a couple of weeks doing the other ones I the one that hurt didn't hurt anymore and I started doing it too. My therapist was kind of surprised that I'd kept trying, but pleased that I was able to do it, when I told her about it.
