I drove after 10 days. Just make sure that the seat is adjusted and if your e-brake requires you to bend over and pull, you do that before you get into the car. The bending and stretching to do those things can make you sore. However, no problem driving.

I had surgery on a Thursday, was driving on Monday and back to work on Tuesday. It definitely depends on how you feel and if you can react quickly (if needed) without hesitation while driving.

I drove 4 days after. Doctor just said be careful with driving and taking Meds.

Thanks guys, surgery was this past Monday and I have some places to be tomorrow. Pain meds no longer a concern, feeling great. Appreciation to those whom responded.

I waited 7 days.

I had surgery Friday and drove for 6+ hours on Sunday. If was really not that hard
