I am 60 and i have chronic pain in my wrists and elbows. i suspect arthritis. my doctor sent me to o.t. but it just got worse. what next?

Workup needed: Further workup is needed as alternate causes for your symptoms should be considered. That should include blood work and possibly imaging as your symptoms cannot be explained by age related arthritis. Among others carpal tunnel and rheumatoid arthritis will have to be ruled out.
