I understand. I, too, am in pain constantly and am pretty much housebound. Its hard to do anything inside the house, too. I can't shower myself, brush my hair, put a shirt or coat on. Some days I find it hard to stand or sit by myself--problematic when you have to use the bathroom. I get frustrated often, and pain adds to my already present depression. I was never a screamer, but I would LOVE to be able to get up and run or punch something.
What is the dx that is causing all your pain? Mine is rheumatoid arthritis.
