then the joint has no cartilage. Cartilage is a tough low friction coating that covers the bone where they form joints it has no nerves that can sense pain. However once it is gone the bone begins to rub directly against bone. Bones do feel pain when damaged. as the bone wears away at its opposing bone in the joint it begins to try and repair itself and that creates ridges or lipping that cause more pain and stiffness in the joint this process can be accompanied by inflammation leading to deformity surrounding the joint.
