Takin' the Newbies along Part 2 - a trip report

[halfwaytree]

Yup, the swollen feet thing is due to the flight in most csses.

It happens to some people and it can also just start to happen one day when it never happened before.

You can get support stockings from medical supply merchants and from selected pharmacies (I'm sure on the interweb too) that you can put on before boarding the plane and then take them off when you land. They seem to be successful in eliminating or greatly reducing the swelling in most cases.

See this link for other helpful hints. Regardless of what it says in the link it can last for days. This condition affects my brother and my niece when they fly.
