Anyone else's doctor say they could not drive for 2 weeks after surgery ???

Not specifically. I was just told not to drive as long as I was on pain medication -- which for me was one week.

Agreed, typically the no driving is due to it not being safe to drive while under pain meds. I was told 3 weeks, but at my 2 week follow up my doctor said since I wasn't on pain meds I could drive.

No, I was told I should be able to drive to my one week follow up. I stopped taking pain meds the day I came home, and was driving on 2 days after surgery.

I was driving 1 week after the surgery. I could have been driving a few days earlier if I wanted to, but chose to wait.

Do not drive while taking any narcotic pain meds..

I drove myself home from surgery, 48 hours post-op. I also made sure the nurses stopped giving me narcotics 24 hours before I knew I needed to drive. As long as you are off drugs, you're fine to drive.

Yes, but I did a week later. I returned to work a week earlier also. I was the model patient other than that LOL

I drove the day after.

Day 3 i had to bring the car to the shop...if course it had to have an issue right after i had surgery...murphy was right there!

The hospital said I could drive home if I wanted since I hadn't had pain meds in more than six hours or so (I think it had been 12). I declined.
