After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?
Do you have scoliosis?
They serve alcohol on planes.
You might have some issues with one of your intervertebral discs. Go do a checkup just to make sure. Might catch it before it evolves into a bigger problem.
Off the top of my head: Stretch? Try to get on the plane later than most people? Take a sleeper train instead?
How is it while on the plane compared to after, are your knees hitting the seat in front? Maybe try a neck pillow to ease neck/head stress? Compression socks for foot, ankle or calf pain?
I don’t if the flight is long and it is bigger aircraft (two aisles: A350, 787, A380, 777, etc). I try to be up and moving around as much as possible. No booze. Eat light if at all. Drink water.
Do flights normally provide free drinking water? I am under the impression that passengers must buy bottled water in flight if they want to drink.
