Driving ???
Posted , 10 users are following.
I am almost 6 weeks post TRH and desperate to drive . I am not using any sticks and everything is fine so what is the view on this ?
My consultant said I could drive when I was able to do an emergengency stop which I have practised in the stationary car. I feel very confident and able !!😆

I had my THR one left hip and drove about 10 days after. If it was your right it may be different.
Good luck Scoops

With my 1st THR I was driving in week 5 - got "clearance" from physical therapist-
I am 29 days post-op from 2nd THR and have a diffferent PT who told me that he is not authorized to clear me for driving and I should wait until I see my surgeon  which is another 4 weeks (yikes!!!) away - it is more about an "what-if" issue and insurance - what if I hit a cat or a tree ... insurance will then find out that I was not cleared to drive after THR ...Â
when is your follow up appoitnment ? Â and then it is a matter of how confident you are - getting in and out of my low seated tiny car was more of a challenge than driving ....
big hug
