Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Both Elbows

I have osteoarthritis in both elbows , shoulders, and knees. I have had both hips successfully replaced by Dr Walter Beaver @ Orthocarolina, Charlotte. I am 71 years old and have always been very active and hard working. My elbows (both ) have lost a lot of range of motion. I have taken all sorts of nsaids for pain, tried braces, both compression type and stiff. My elbow pain keeps me from sleeping either in bed or in my chair. Would you recommend a elbow surgeon to me in my area . I live near Charlotte, NC

You will have to get proper surgery for your elbow which ranges from fusion of joint to replacement, if indicated, depending on your requirements.
