Noisy Upstairs neighbors doesn't help things at all !!!!

It's bad enough that both of my knees have been killing me today, but then I have to add the aggravation of extremely noisy upstairs neighbors too ! They've been thumping and banging around for the last 2 and a half hours straight ! They're driving me insane ! The frustration and aggravation that their complete rudeness brings out in me is bad enough, but because of the constant thumping noises now I have a migraine headache also ! I'm so sick of their rude and selfish ways ! 
They've got to have at least a small idea that they're thumping around is bothering me. They know that this building doesn't have very thick walls, or great insulation in the walls or ceilings. So it only makes sense that since they should realize that, then they should show at least " some " consideration for their neighbors ! But OH NO ! NOT THEM ! They don't seem to give a damn how loud, and noisy they are ALL OF THE TIME ! The ONLY time that they're not noisy is if they're asleep, or they're not home ! 
As you can guess I'm constantly hoping that they'll go " OUT " somewhere... anywhere !... and for as long as humanly possible ! IF ONLY they'd at least go to bed early ! That would help me somewhat, but I'm not that lucky. They typically don't seem to settle down till anywhere from 11 pm to sometimes 1:00 am or 1:30 am, or so. It's ridiculous ! I have plenty of stress to deal with simply dealing with my bad knees ! I don't need this additional stress because of their complete rudeness ! 
I would complain about my upstairs neighbors, but I don't feel it would do a damn bit of good. 
Realistically what would happen ? Sure someone might talk to them, but so what ?! 
They'd be " talked to ", and probably promise whoever talks to them that they'd do their best to be much quieter from now on. Then as soon as that " person " left, they could easily go right back to their old ways ! Chances are extremely good that they would go back to their old ways ! 
I hate them ! If you truly knew me then you'd understand that it takes a LOT for me to say that about anyone. I usually like everyone... until they do something to me like
my upstairs neighbors have, and then they're my worst enemy ! 
I'm on the " edge " of complaining about them, even though like I said earlier I highly doubt that it would do any good. But if they keep pushing me this way... continuing to be so damn LOUD, so often... I won't be able to resist the urge to complain about them. 
I just hope that IF I do end up reporting them, that the person I talk to about them keeps my name from them so they don't know who reported them.
