I had unders and drove on day 4.As long as your not on any pain meds you should be safe to drive.But if your on meds it's better not to drive yet.

Hi, I had unders & was cleared to drive at my 7 day post op check up. I found that driving was a little uncomfortable until day 10/11 though x

Hey hun. I had overs and didn't drive till day 10 due to my insurance company void ur insurance for 10 days after a general anesthetic!
So I'd advise if ur planning on driving check ur insurance first xxx

I drove at day 14 down to my 2week check-up, and he said to me then at that meeting 'I would recommend going about every-day activites now, so if you feel up to driving in the next few days, that would be ok'. I think everyone will be advised different things, but I know even now it's hard changing into 5th gear and reverse for some reason? hm xxx

Lookout girl - OMG I LOVE you - I'm getting unders and have to drive myself to work on day 3 and I was totally panicking. (I have a really quiet desk job).

As long as I'm not on pain meds I feel so much better that you drove on day 3. (I have an automatic car and don't need to drive on highways to get to work- which makes me feel better! xxx
