Hi! Soon, I will have hip replacement. I want know more about I can or can’t to do. Can I drive after hip replacement? This is very important for me. Because I live in village driving is necessary for me. Also I live alone.
Hi! I understand your problem. I also had hip replacement. I feel much better. You could drive an automatic as soon as you get home if your left hip has been replaced. However, driving is best avoided until about 6 weeks after the surgery, especially if it is your right hip that has been operated upon. You must discuss about the effects of driving on your hip with your doctor. If you have a car accident, you are on your own!
