Does anyone know how long you can't drive after having surgery? I hoping it's only a few days!

Thanks!

I was told as soon as you are comfortable and off of all pain medications.

I was told to wait until the week follow up appointment. I was cleared to drive 8 days after surgery.

As long as you aren' t taking pain meds, you can drive once you feel ready...I got home from the hospital on Friday, and was out running errands on Monday!!!!!
