So I vaguely remember that for gnail coming home after staying in Athens, you put on compression socks on the flight out of Greece

I'll leave Athens after around 6 months total of being there

And I remember in Betz's cyborg4life interview (unrelated) that at one point he was trying to figure out why some patients were getting extreme pain on the airplane (something about pressure, the nail, didn't understand)

Anyone know how this works?

Does this apply to trains (I'm assuming not, if the cause is related to elevation/pressure)? Should you take more trains and less planes for a year after LL or how does this work?

I need to take a flight obviously to get back to the USA from Greece but after that there are some trips I could use a train in the USA

Sitting will make blood pool in your legs.  After leg surgery when there's already swelling, that makes it even worse.  I don't think it's the airplane specifically.

Elevate your legs will help,  but my issue was the vibration made my screws vibrate and pain was 5/10 ish during flight   .
Jet engined plane is fine . Propeller plane vibrates too much .

Consider take pain meda right before boarding .

I sort of wonder if trains would cause the vibration too or not. There are some trips I could technically take a long train ride, but I'm not sure if that is better or worse than a short plane ride. I have g-nail
