    We can't judge that trilby; we don't know how good your bones were to start with and I strongly suggest you got back to your doctor for a final determination.

    Your doctor should have told you this... if not, ask him. I had a broken knee cap and my doctor told me what I could and couldn't do and how long I had to wait to do things.

    You should ask your doctor but if it doesn't hurt you should be able to drive unless your clutching an 18 wheeler or heavy equipment

    So did the doctor restrct you from driving.
