DVT : Is a huge concern when flying because of prolonged sitting and lack of leg muscle action. Discus with your doctor what you should do about these concerns.

While recovering : From your injury, it's good to avoid staying in any position for a prolonged amount of time. Doing activities that allows you to take stretch breaks are the best. Also staying in one position for a long period of time, without ability to move or stretch can increase risk of recurrent dvt, especially following an injury, or after a prior dvt. Make sure you are following your doctors recommendations.
