Scar tissue

Hi All,
Most of my joints are worn out, some, I suspect, must be down to bone on bone by now, or does the pain get worst than excruciating(?), an acquaintance says I will develop scar tissue inside the joint and that may alleviate the pain a touch. My question is, when/does it work/why doesn't that wear out as well?
I can't have replacement joints due to osteoporosis, the last one I had was loose from the day it went in to the day it was pulled out a year later (just a space now!).
Not sure if this is all old wives tales, never get to talk to anybody in the know..... does anybody have any anecdotal evidence?
Cheers
Mark its not a grimace, its a grin, honest!!!
