    Nah it’s not. I’ve been living with chronic back pain every day for 20 years and it hasn’t made me cranky. I have definitely lost some patience with blatant stupidity and what other people think, but my default interaction mode is ‘be chill and get along with everyone’.

      I’ve been living with chronic back pain for years as well. And I definitely get short sometimes when I’m in pain. It makes me tired and cranky sometimes and takes its toll. I have asked my family to remind me when I’m acting like a “grumpy old man”.

        Sure, in bad moments I get short-tempered like anyone else in pain, I more meant generally speaking. I’m not cranky all the time by any means, even though I hurt all the time.
