hi roxyj, i had unders and drove 8 days after my ba, it wasnt easy but i had to do the school run and drive to work, reverse and fith gear were a bit of a struggle! its really hard to judge how long recovery is as everyones is so different, i had strapping on for a week wich was so tight i cud barely breath never mind drive, but everything was much easier after that was removed. good luck with your consultation hun.xxx
