Hello All, I'm 4 days post - op and was wondering when it was safe to start driving? I'm feeling really good and have little to no pain. Doc say 2 weeks . How long did you guys wait?

My Dr. said as long as I wasn't on any pain medication that I could drive whenever. Never drive when medicated with anything that may have sedation in it, which many pain relievers have. I would not drive any long distances, or be hauling bags from stores until you are at least a week out.

i started driving after my 4th day. i had to pick my car up from the hospital. the dr said that it was ok to drive whenever as long as i wasnt on pain meds.
