Driving question!

How long after surgery were you able to drive a MANUAL car? Left knee will be operated on 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m having ACL and MCL reconstructions with meniscus repair/removal and will be in a brace for at least 8 weeks.

Thanks for all responses

A week my sister drove me around than i had to figure it out

I was right knee but drove once at 2 weeks post op(out of frustration) but didn’t properly drive till I was round 4 week post op.

I was told I could drive once i could safely do an emergency stop

Once your able to do leg lifts laying down and lots of them, to the point where it’s easy and to be able to have that strength and quickness when driving that you need

Without your brace that is

10 days , right leg operated.
