I fractured my L3 whilst snowboarding 2 weks ago. I havebeen placed in a brace, and told this will be for 6 weeks minimum.

Basically I can't seem to get any definate answers as to when i should be ok to drive. I work about 20-30miles away and need to get back as soon aspossible. Can anyone tellme if driving with the brace is ok and if it may put my prognosis back by driving in it?

Dear Steve
Depends on the fracture and its stability. Contact your surgeon.
