morning all

I am to have MLB this week. My husband is abroad and the treatment centre is miles away. Would I be ok driving with bandages on?

Any form of MLLB will have an effect on your ability to flex your ankles and therefore may interfere with your ability to use your pedals - including your brakes- effectively. That is why clinics usually advise you to get a friend to give you a lift.
