How long until you can drive after a hysterectomy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Almost immediately: Commonly, women were told they could drive after 2 weeks. However, if not on narcotics for pain, it is safe to drive when you can move your foot from the gas pedal tothe brake without pain. Be sure and "buckle up.".

Depends. : Typically once you are off of the pain medicine and are not having pain you could drive. Best to ask your doctor what his or her recommendation would be. Hope this helps.
