Driving after the op?
How long did you guys wait until you started driving after the operation? I'll be really really stuck without my car if I can't drive - I have the two kids to ferry round

Re: Driving after the op?
they usually say after a week you will feel up to driving. Be careful about still having GA in your system too, as it can make some insurance void for a few days after surgery. I would say i would have felt up to it after a week or so x

I drove about 10days post op, before this and I couldn't have steered properly or put my car into reversed. x

I drove to my 7 day post op appointment, felt fine, apart from when I had to turn the wheel full lock, could feel it in my muscle!! Xx

Re: Driving after the op?
I drove within the first week, but I don't think I should have because I was really wiped out. I had armpit incision and I could feel the skin pulling when I held onto the wheel and ditto to Jennifer2011 above, I could feel it in my muscles when I tried to turn a corner (but I had unders), so maybe it's easier with overs.

I had unders and drove after 4 days. You just need to drive like a learner driver and feed the wheel! Im now 17 days post op and can driver perfectly normal

I also drove to my 7 day check up appointment - i felt absolutely fine - i think i could of driven a few days earlier to that. I generally think it depends on person to person and how you recover after the op. I was in hardly an discomfort after my op but i've heard some girls who have been in pain for 2 weeks after. You will be able to tell yourself when your ready hun. x

My first couple times driving about day 5 was actually pretty sore working my chest muscles for the first time (with unders) Felt like I did too many weights at the gym basically
