MaPeg Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 How long after your BA were you all able to drive a manual? Op is in 8 days and I need to start getting things in prep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachy9156 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I drove mine at 10 days and it was a little uncomfortable. I couldn't get into 5th gear for a little while longer! BA-finally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1990 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Drove at day 6 but not far and drove to work and home on day 7 (25kms each way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobarella13 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi girls,I hadn't given this much thought ?. My surgery is in 3 1/2 weeks and I'll be going back to work after a week. I drive to work and my car is a manual. Is it just a comfort issue or can you actually damage the implants by driving too soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsAlwaysRight Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I took a little longer to drive, was a couple of weeks before I felt safe doing so, it was just too painful to get into 5th and having to turn around when reversing was uncomfortable too.

natsacks Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I think it depends on u and how u feel driving. I had an awesome recovery, thankfully so i had no trouble driving a manual after 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
