30 plus years, I understand how you feel sometimes when someone complains about pain that is only temporary. Like you, I sometimes feel like saying to them how lucky they are that it's not there all the time! Like you, I have these thoughts and I don't speak them out loud.
But I don't think we need to be ashamed of these thoughts that go through our heads, assuming we don't say them aloud. There's no shame is just having the thought if we don't dwell on it. In fact, I think it's pretty normal to feel envious of another person now and then.
The main thing I try hard to do is just not to let that thought stay in my head. I let it just go right on through, and then I think of what I have to be grateful for in my life. That way, the thought is just a passing thing, doesn't hurt anyone, including myself. And I bet you do the same thing, so I don't think you should feel bad about those thoughts.
(Just my opinion).
