I started at day 7 but it was not fun..check with your doctors recommendations.

I drove on day 10. I did feel pulling, so you have to be careful & drive as little as possible.

Of course follow your PS's advice and I did. Happily drove myself to work on my Day 14 and felt fine. By then I was just taking Tylenol for discomfort so my head was completely clear.

My ps said no driving for 5 weeks and my husband held me to that. We carpooled forever..... I drive a stick shift, when I did drive, I was so surprised at all the muscles you use. Follow your ps advice.
