A member asked:
Do you have any tips for relieving aching legs during a long plane flight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretches and move: Prevent aching legs and decrease risk of blood clot during long plane flight by doing pre-flight stretches as well as maintenance in-flight stretches every hour in seat (arms and legs) and get up to walk around the cabin when it is safe to do so. Limit your consumption of caffeine and alcohol, but stay hydrated by drinking lots of water. Take a brisk walk in the airport once you have landed.
