Question about driving after surgery.
Tore my ACL in left leg - BEAR implant surgery next week. Question about driving after surgery.
I tore my ACL in my left leg while playing soccer/football, and I’m scheduled for surgery next week. My doctor recommended the BEAR implant procedure.
Right now, I can still walk and do most day-to-day activities without much pain. Occasionally, if I fold/bend my leg a certain way, I feel pain for a couple of minutes and then it goes away.
I live by myself, so I’m trying to plan recovery logistics. For people who’ve had ACL surgery (especially BEAR), were you able to drive after about 4 weeks?
Also, I drive a Mustang, so it’s a lower car and a bit more awkward to get in/out of compared to an SUV. Since the injury is on my left leg, what would the driving situation realistically look like after 4 weeks?
Would appreciate any experiences or advice.
