Sitting in tight seats with little room to stretch can create stiffness and pain. Traveling with knee pain can significantly increase your symptoms.
Whether you have arthritis, a knee injury, or another painful knee condition, there are steps you can take to help you, so you are more comfortable while traveling.
Medication. If you use medication to manage your pain, take it before long trips. Over-the-counter pain medication such as Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen or Aleve) can help to manage your pain as you travel.
Clothing. Make sure to dress comfortably for travel. The best choice is loose clothing and supportive shoes. You can even wear compression stockings to increase circulation, preventing blood clots.
Breaks. It helps if you can take breaks during travel, so you have the opportunity to walk and stretch. If you can take breaks, it can help with cramping and pain.
