Helping you to make a speedy recovery after a slipped disc operation

Driving

Your insurance company should be informed about your operation. Some companies will not insure drivers for a number of weeks after surgery, so it’s important to check what your policy says.

Driving - An exercise

Before resuming driving, you should be free from the sedative effects of any painkillers you may be taking. You should be comfortable in the driving position and able to safely control your car, including freely performing an emergency stop. Practise this in a safe place without putting the key in the ignition. If you feel pain, stop immediately. If you feel sore afterwards, wait for a day or two before trying again. It is advisable not to restart driving with a long journey.
