Hi everyone,

I just wondered whether anyone has flown in an aeroplane with RSD and if so, how did you react?

My mum has booked for us all to go to Las Vegas on the 1st March for 5 days and whilst I am really looking forward to the break, I am also a bit worried about whether the flying could potentially make my RSD worse.

I have flown in an aeroplane with RSD before but it was only for 2 hours and the flight to Vegas is nearly 11 hours. I didn't react too bad to the 2 hour flight however it did make my pain worse with the turbulance and the swelling became worse also.

Just wondered whether anyone had ever flown with RSD and if so, how did you react and is there anything that I should use/try to make the flight more comfortable and to prevent flares? I am REALLY looking forward to the trip to Vegas with my mum and dad as I need a break after everything i've been through but the last thing I want is to end up in a major flare so that I can't enjoy our time there!!

Any input is greatly appreciated!
