As soon as you are off pain meds.

I was told I could drive as long as I was not taking pain meds.

I drove on Monday after surgery on Thursday but no pain medicine and made it fine!!!

What pain meds were you all put on?

What pain meds were all of you on?

Liquid Percocet , but really only needed it for a few days post op. was driving and back to work in less than a week.

I drove the next day. I am on stronger pain meds then they'd give me daily for my back anyway. I didn't get any extra pain meds for surgery.

What are you taking? I take 700-1500 mg of Vicodin for my shoulder pain. It's not daily but I have no issues driving taking it.

It was over a week before I felt strong enough to drive. I had Lapband with plication and a hernia repaired. I drive a manual shift mustang. I just couldn't imagine holding the clutch in for very long. But I do live in a city with lots if traffic so just running to the store can be an adventure.

The next day I was able to drive. I was careful not to use my pain meds. I did take my pain meds at bedtime however.

I take 10-325 Vicodyn 3 times a day and Diclofenac. They Dr was only going to give me 5-325, so I just told him nevermind. My pain management Dr gave me some extra in case I needed them for surgery. He also told me to not drive if I take 2 of them, but I otherwise drive fine. Even on 2 of them though, I feel ok to drive, I just don't do it though. If I take 2 I am in a lot of pain and don't want to drive anyway.
