Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hi Al, I had a TLH REdo in April of last year 2005. The cup and ball were replaced along with a lot of bone grafting in the pelvis to support the cup. I can't tie my shoes yet either without a lot of grunting and such. It's the weirdest thing. Any sort of bending is uncomfortable. I'm stiff. The PT says keep bending it will get better. The bending is getting better by millimeters, but it is getting better. Otherwise all is very well and I am very happy. No pain or discomfort unless I stop doing exercise. Stretching helps the most. Enjoy!
