Is Flying Safe With A Bruised Thigh?
Hi I fell of my mountain bike 3 days ago, the saddle caused a large bruise on my inner thigh, which is now a little larger as I cycled again yesterday. The bruise is about 6 inches by 8 inches, it has started to go slightly yellow on the top edge, so could be getting better. The thing is I fly home tomorrow. The flight is 2 hours 40 minutes. Am I in danger of deep vein thrombosis.
