I was told you can start to think about driving from a week, depending whether you have overs or unders. But you can’t drive if still on strong pain relief.
I needed a lot of pain relief the first 2 days, now i’m just taking the odd ibuprofen. I find ice packs help more.
Pain relief made me feel out of it and really slow.
Everyone responds differently though. Even though i’m in minimal pain, i’ve still just woken from a 3hour nap! Body is clearly still tired. Just take it easy, keep on top of pain, don’t push yourself, and remember that the worst of it passes in no time xxx
