When did you start driving after hysterectomy?
I had a LAVH last Thursday (11/10/16). I'm definitely not ready to start driving yet but I am on the mend. When I asked my doctor about driving restrictions she said I was good to go once I was off of the Norcos. I took my last Norco Saturday morning but I don't feel confident that I'd enough range of motion/reaction time to drive yet.
Just curious as to when others got back behind the wheel. Thanks!

When did you start driving after hysterectomy?
Day 9 I drove. I made sure to raise the steering wheel to make sure it would not hit my abdomen in case of accident.

Re: When did you start driving?
I was allowed to drive after one week, as long as I wasn't on painkillers. I was surprised at that given I have a vertical incision.
I tried it after a week and was nervous. I only drove a short while to the post office and then took the side streets home to avoid traffic.
I am now much more comfortable driving, although it's still only been short trips. Max 20 mins. driving at once. And I still use my lap pillow.

Re: When did you start driving?
My doctor had suggested no driving before my 4 week recheck...i drove ( maybe 4 blocks away, still in the neighborhood) around 3 weeks after surgery.

I drove at 15 days post op. One person at the hospital told me 2 weeks, and the Surgeon told me when I was off of the narcotics.

Re: When did you start driving after hysterectomy?
I am 13 days post op and haven't driven yet. My doctor told me not to drive until I come back to see him and get cleared, which is next week. My 16 year old has been my chauffeur since surgery! Haha!
