yellowrose88 43 Posted April 16, 2012 I had trouble with driving too. I drive about 30-35 minutes to and from work. It lasted about 5-6 weeks for me. People probably thought I was crazy because I would lift my left arm and hold onto the head rest. Good luck and hopefully the pain will reside soon. Good luck!

jill1981 1 Posted April 17, 2012 LOL I do the same thing. non stop adjusting on my car rides to work. Glad to know it only lasted about 5 to 6 weeks for you. Hopefully I’ll be in that category too thanks for the help!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new beginnings03 9 Posted April 17, 2012 I was told by my dr that I could not jogg/run for 4-6 weeks after surgery. You have to let your inside heal other wise you risk something happening and I'm sure that you don't want to be in the er in pain. I would ask your dr to be sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnycantrock 71 Posted April 17, 2012 Driving I can do fine (even got to pull the seat forward!! Love the visible wins!!), but I work retail and after two hours of constantly being on my feet, bending and stretching, I'm done. Doc wants me in light duty for two more weeks at the least (total one month after surgery.). Just take it easy and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
