    Yes, bone on bone is very painful. Steroid injections give some relief as does votarol. Once it gets to only bone on bone the only way I have got pain relief is via surgery. Had 2 finger joint replacements and recently a debridement and they all got rid of the pain.

      The Dr has said he may be able to operate on left foot but would be very wary about right foot as bone scan has shown every bone in that foot is affected....am waiting carpal tunnel surgery and have had steroid injections in wrists.....am quite at the end of my tether as in so much pain

    I do but I don't have osteo. I have psoriatic arthritis. Have you been evaluated for any autoimmune conditions because carpal tunnel is common with autoimmune and it sounds like you may have peripheral neuropathy.
