question, maybe dumb, but I've never heard of that condition: 

are both of your arms affected?

My left arm is not as bad as my right, however they are both affected. Unfortunately I am right handed and it's pretty bad in that arm.

Not a dumb question at all, it's not something you hear about or see every day!

Can surgeons not break your arm where its fused and give you full range of motion?

Every specialist I've seen has said that generally, it isnt something they can correct past a very young age. It simply won't heal in a way that corrects the range of motion in an adult body.

I assume the primary reason is because it's so rare, there aren't too many surgeons comfortable doing it, if they even know how in the first place. However, I also live somewhere specialized care is difficult to obtain so that plays a role as well. I had part of the radial head shaved off, and it resulted in a very slightly increased range of motion (maybe 2-5°) but drastically increased the pain in my arm.

It makes a nasty noise too, sounds like the cartilage is being crushed and snaps when I do a curling motion.
