No. Cows willingly come to the milk parlor to be milked, because the milk machines relieve the pain in their udders from being so swollen with milk. If cows would feel pain from being "forcibly" milked from machines, they would be doing everything they can to avoid going to the milking parlour. It's just like with cows going down a chute to the squeeze to get their shots. If they've had a bad experience the first time, they will baulk, turn around, and get really excited because they know that what they're going into is something that causes pain. No animal likes to go into or for something that causes them pain. But these dairy cows are not going to the parlour because they are forced to, they are going there because they know it's a pleasurable experience of having their painfully swollen udders relieved by the milk machines, and because it's a part of their routine. Cows like routine.
