When can you drive after a surgery?
The short answer is: It’s Complicated??

What is important is to give your body time to heal and adjust, you want to be ready to maneuver properly in traffic and no longer be taking any narcotic pain medication.

The usual time line is around a week, but it’s always best to follow your surgeons advice.
