Re: Support hose for 15 hour flight to China?

If you can get them on and if your legs aren't so thin that you can't get the

right size, then I think they would be a good idea. They would help with

swelling and potential clots. They do require strength to pull them up,

especially the whole leg stockings, but maybe you could wear the knee-high ones

if the others don't work.

My doctors did not say they were a problem - indeed they said they would prevent

greater problems.

While you didn't ask, here are some other ideas to prevent/minimize

clot/thrombus formation on long flights:

Drink fluids. Water is best.

Get up and walk around periodically.

Try not to cross your legs, ie., create pressure points.

Consider taking an aspirin before you fly, if there are no other

medical contraindications.
