3 Weeks post op is way too soon to be doing any lifting, and with the driving aspects have u been given the all clear to be driving so soon ?? Some insurance companies will not validate ur insurance if u havent been given the all clear to drive yet by your team,and if you dont feel 100% and still sore then your right to give your self more time too heal as u dont wanna cause yourself a mischieve and end up being off for longer through not giving your self proper time to heal xx Good luck in wot u decided.
