Chronic Pain and Mood- does it make you grouchy
Hi All,
I have noticed that over the past few weeks the pain has been pretty bad. I see my pain dr on Wednesday. (May ask about switch from Ultram to Nucynta or see if we can do Ultram with Morphine for breakthrough.)
I have also been told that I have been a little more grouchy lately. I know part of it is probably cabin fever, but I am sure that part of it has to come from sheer frustration with fainting an pain. I am a pretty easy going and optimistic person most of the time. But this is driving me nuts. Is it just me or has anyone else had this?
Pain free days,

Re: Chronic Pain and Mood- does it make you grouchy
Yes the chronic pain definitely makes me feel grouchy, moody, etc. I also tend to really shut down socially when I have high pain levels.
Definitely bring up your uncontrolled pain and request that some change be made. I hope the appointment goes well and your pain improves soon. Best wishes.

I get withdrawn and easily irritated when my pain goes over a 5 or so. This is after living with chronic pain over 40 years! I dont know too many people who dont get grouchy with pain. I do hope you can get a better treatment plan so you can feel better.
Hugs,
Cindy

I agree with the others. It's really hard to be cheerful when you hurt so bad. Hope you feel better soon.
