Hi, flying long haul 3 flights (5, 14 & 3 hrs each) journey 4 weeks after ankle sprain. am mobile, minimal swelling, allergic to aspirin. dvt risk?

Take precautions..: There is always a risk, even for people without an ankle sprain. Try to keep mobile, even on the plane. Walk, or at least stand, multiple times per flight. Stay hydrated and try not to kink you leg from sitting too long.
