What types of restrictions do you have after decompression surgery? Are you able to drive? How long are the restrictions?

Thanks

I think everyone is different & accomplishes things at a different rate. Did your NS tell you how long to wait to drive? I didn't feel comfortable to drive or do anything else for months. I know people that are great after a few weeks. Do what you feel comfortable doing & if you have any ask your NS. I wish I had a better answer for you & hope you are doing well !!!
