Its a bit: unusual from a 4 hour flight but considerig how much "room " these "friendly" air-lines give you, you certainly may be suffering from nerve compressions in your neck and low back. At any rate these are usually just "bulges" and they will subside. See a chiropractor if your symptoms persist Hope this helps Dr Z
