I drove after 5 days after the reverse replacement I had in September of 2023. But that was my right arm surgery which is my non dominant arm.
The reverse I just had on 1/17/24 is on my left- my dominant side. I don’t feel as capable using my right arm only to drive and I am still on opioids. I am in much more pain with this second surgery. My arm doesn’t even straighten completely down with the pendulum exercises.

Sorry,I misunderstood you and that you are still in pain. From reading all the post op experiences on this page,it is clear ,each person and each surgery ,are different and we should probably not compare ,but rather forge our own path to recovery. I feel I am behind others,but maybe that is meant to be. Wishing you less pain ahead!
