    Hello ladies,
    I’m just wondering when most of you started driving again? My husband has returned to work and I have football training and dance show rehearsals to get the kids to over the next few days. I am currently 8 days post op.
    Thankyou x

    @hdwilding I started driving 10 days PO and never realised how much you use your chest muscles when driving, so that came as a shock! My implants are under the muscle, so just had to take it as easy as I could, luckily for me I drive an automatic car so no issue with gear changes that other ladies have posted! xx

    Thanks so much for your replays 🙂
    I think I’m going to give it a try today and see if I can get through the football training and dance show runs lol! Both are fairly local so fingers crossed it will be bearable. I wish I still had my automatic haha x

    Hiya, I drove 6 days post op and was completely fine, had no pain or discomfort at all! I had a very easy recovery so far though and have had very little pain at all so that might be why xx

    Ah that’s brill Amber 🙂
    I did drive today and I have to be honest, I struggled!! Turning sharp corners was hard because I couldn’t make my arms move fast enough without it really pulling on my boob/neck/ armpit muscles lol! I was exhausted just getting to my daughters dance rehearsal and then had to sit in a very uncomfortable wooden bench for 2 hrs while she practised- not ideal haha! Oh well, I did it, but think I’ll still be sending hubby on the school runs next week lol 😉 x
