Is Flight Journey Advisable With A Severe Bruise On The Leg?
Question: Got a severe bruise on the legs from being caught between a boat and a pontoon. I am supposed to fly tomorrow morning for several flights ranging from 1 hour to 8 hours . Any danger in doing so? Female 58 years old generally in good health and moderately fit
Brief Answer:
No danger.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
If you do not have any varices on the legs, bruises only wont cause any harm during the flight. Just remember to stretch your calfs from time to time while sitting.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
