Oh hell, darling I sympathise in a BIG way. The only thing I can suggest is garlic and cod liver oil for the joints and a spot of lavendar on the pillow for sleep. It helps if you take a warm bath before bed with a little lavender in it.

i am finding morphine helps with the sleeping but unfortunately not the pain

be careful of the over-the-counter drugs, too. aspirin will cause stomach and intestinal bleeding for men over a certain age. over use of tylenol causes liver problems, especially when used at the same time someone is seeking that beautiful calm only a tumbler of whisky will give you.

There is danger in all forms of joint relief. I'm currently taking an analgesic that will burn a hole in my stomach or intestine if not taken with food and a stomach acid reducer, but my pain has crossed the line from aging pain to deterioration pain.

best of luck to you on your search for the miracle cure. you might consider something to help you sleep in conjunction with the pain medication if you've been missing out on those 8 essential hours for too many days.

Dont be afraid of drugs addiction.

I use Aprazolam since years, without any problem, and I dont think to stop it.

It helps a lot. The best thing : I always see "la vie en rose" (a french expression meaning "the life in pink", or "a more enjoyable life".
