My late husband had both wrists done. He was able to drive again after 6 weeks. A lot depends on the individual and how quickly you recover. You have to find a happy medium really between not doing too much and not doing enough. There was another guy had his done the same time as Peter and he kept his arm in a sling all the time and they said at the hospital that he should not have done that because he needed to have moved it as it all seized up, but don't do too much so that it doesn't get chance to heal. When I had op on my wrist I could tell by what it felt like if I was doing something I shouldn't and I stopped.

Best wishes for a speedy recover.
