Loss of cartilage bone ontop of bone due to severe arthritis pain is constant and keeps me up all night and im loosing sleep nothing seems to work?

How frustrating!: Is your arthritisi due to "wear and tear" or to an inflammatory systemic disease like rheumatoid arthritis? This can make a difference in what medications may help you. Also, are you bothered by one joint or several? Please talk to your primary care doctor, orthopedist or rheumatologist - depending on your underlying diagnosis. My guess is that your pain relief and sleep can improve with help!
