Appendix Bursted With Localized Damage And Infection. Is It Safe To Drive Long Distance Without Operation?
my 26 yo daughter had an appendix burst. apparently the damage is localized and infected. they are treating the infection and say she can not be operated on for approx. 6 weeks. she is driving from fla to okla. to move there in about 10 days. is it safe for her to take a 2 day car drive with that type of condition?
Hi. OH NO ! The mainstay of this stage of appendicitis is REST. There can be flare-up on moving too much / strain or stress of any sort. It will be wise to have a rest.
