A member asked:
When will i be able to drive after having a cast removed from a broken arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Stiffness should be expected and limited hand and wrist motion may limit driving. Once the stiffness is worked out, then driving can be resumed. With daily range of motion exercises, the stiffnes should be adequately worked out 1-2 weeks after coming out of cast.
