Have it right. I fight chronic pain all the time it does make me short tempered. But I try to be responsible for my feelings and attitude so I don't grump out on people.

Professional help sounds necessary. Plus it doesn't sound like adequate pain management is happening. Unrelenting uncontrolled pain is a death threat. I have mine more or less managed with a little help for breakthrough. I'd go crazy in about three days if if couldn't be controlled. Not kidding. Now if I could take a pill for the depression and cynicism people might even like me.
