My doctor said ok short distance driving after 3 weeks, but main concern was if I could slam on the brakes and control car if necessary. 3 weeks post-op but still too scared to try driving. Luckily my MIL is here to drive me around! Good luck and be safe
thanks for your advice, im not on any pain meds at moment and otherwiser feel quite fit and healthy. have a great christmas and a happy new year.
I had my abdominal hysterectomy also on November 4. I was told I could drive after 4 weeks. If you feel like you can then I would say try it. However if you are taking pain meds still, then i would not drive while still taking them.
