Question: I have a stick shift and had my left hip replaced. When can I drive? I’m off all the painkillers except aspirin or Tylenol. Anyone have a thought about that?
My "extremely conservative" OS cleared me at my six week follow-up. Pushing in the clutch wasn't the issue for me - it was moving my leg "over and up" to depress the clutch. I was probably ready at about 4-5 weeks. I had a posterior hip replacement and still have to be careful entering and exiting the car. Good luck to you and I hope this helps...
