Has anyone had a total elbow replacement?

I had a failed replacement and a failed revision. Main symptom is pain. For examble it hurts somewhat all the time but if I forget and push myself up using the right arm-Whew! I see stars. I cannot life much and ROM is limited. I do have some better ROM like I can brush my teeth and shave with some pain but I can.
Dr left vessel loops and a staple in my arm but not sure if it is a factor
Anyway, the pain is bad enough so I am going to have a third surgery at NYU (other surgery was Columbia) Both Manhattan, Dr Ayalon will do it and he promised less pain

Glen where did you go for your surgery?

I recently had another elbow joint reconstructed after 5 elbow replacements. This time a cadaver bone was placed around my humerus to hold it together.
This is surgery #7 for me on this arm over 15 years and same accident. I’m 75 and this time was not easy but much better than #6.
I’m hoping I won’t have as much pain and more ROM after the cast is removed. Dr Mark Morrey did my surgery at Mayo in Rochester Mn. He is the best for this type of surgery.
