Also having a tough time getting proper finger placement so that the keys all strum the right way. I guess that comes with time. I can only play about 5-10 min at a time before I have to stop.

I have short fingers and they are all single jointed. There are a ton of chords (especially barre cords) that are simply impossible to play nomatter what people say and I have to live with that and adapt to that.
The pain does go away, I can tell you that. It's not just callouses like beginners have but your skin on the playing hand just gets tougher overall while you develop flexibility and hand strength. Just have a guitar handy wherever you are and pick it up all the time.
