A layer of fluid called synovial fluid located between the bones and acts as a lubricant that prevents the ends of the bones rub against each other and scrape one another .
On the condition of lack of synovial fluid cartilage layer that covers the ends of bones will rub against each other . The friction will make the layer gets thinner and eventually will cause pain .
