I'm just wondering about driving while I'm recovering. If anyone could share their experience with driving, I'd appreciate it.

Sling, no sling?

I'm still supposed to keep my shoulder immobilized, but I'd really like to get back to work. I had my surgery four weeks ago.

    Personally I did not drive for over 5 months  post surgery and told the DVLA at once . Best to discuss it with them and your GP

      I also had a manipulation under anaesthetic  with the full tendon tear as I had had frozen shoulder for over four years and have Fibromyalgia. Everyone is different

      I agree...everyone is different.

      Frozen shoulder, four years... that sounds rough. I hope you are healing nicely.

      Thank you for sharing your experience.
