    I just looked in the mirror and didn't see an MD looking back, BUT......how old are you? How long has this been going on? Is it painful or does it just pi$$ you off? Regardless of your answers to these questions, I would strongly suggest a second opinion from an Orthopedic Surgeon. I can't honestly say I've ever heard of having ones elbows replaced. I'm sure, given the state of the art today, it's entirely possible.

    ps. Why would you voluntarily chop wood?

    I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!
