Flying with arm injury?!
Question: Flying with arm injury!?
I am going to Europe in a week!. I recently fell rollerblading and fractured my elbow and sprained my wrist!. Is there anything I should/need to do before flying (advice to keep it from hurting, ask for something special on the plane)!? Just wondering if I should try to get on the plane earlier so I don't bump into anyone or something like that!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You could try calling your airline and see if you can board the plane before the general population does!. They usually allow handicapped people and small, unattended children to do so!. I'm not sure if they will let you, though, because you aren't truly "handicapped", but it's worth a try!. Meanwhile, talk to your dctor about making sure that he/she will supply you with enough medication for your trip!. Ask for a pillow while on board the plane to keep your arm comfortably rested!.

If you can still flap your arms hard enough then go ahead and fly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
