Dr. Edward Hellman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Be seen: There are numerous reports of people being relatively sedentary in a flight and going on to having developed a DVT. Because that is potentially life threatening, you would certainly want to be urgently evaluated and have this ruled out.
