Leg edema : If you were stationary on a flight for an extended period of time and you have 1 leg that is swollen and/or painful as compared to the other leg, you should see your doctor for evaluation of a possible blood clot in the leg. The location of the clot can be assessed by ultrasound imaging which will help guide management.
