      I drove myself to my 2 week post op appointment. My doctor said once I was off the pain meds I was cleared to drive again.

      I was told you can drive once you have been off the pain meds for 3 days.

    I did... I live 45 min from my Dr. And I did ok! Mine was a week post op not 11 days. I won't lie, it was a bit painful getting in and out of a SUV but I managed! Good luck !

    :) I guess I'm a baby. i didn't. I was in so much pain I was on the meds for weeks. The doc did tell me my surgery was long so maybe that's why.
