Is Flying Safe With Hematoma On Leg?
Hi,I injured my leg with car door 7 days ago. Have haematoma in lower inside leg, with a small marble sized lump still remaining after 5 days of anti inflammatory tablets (3 times daily). Can I fly on an 8 hour flight with this lump? Please advise.

Hi,
There will be no problem flying. You may get swelling in your legs but that's normal for long flights. Do ankle toe movements every hour when flying.
