It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Engaging in driving or sex depend on your state of health. If you able to carry out your daily activities without discomfort, you could do both It would be prudent to talk to the doctor who prescribed colchicine. Wish you good health!
