Hi,
I recently broke my ankle just before Christmas and was put into a Cam Walker for a few weeks for the bone to heal. The bone is now healed and I am going through physio to regain my muscle mass and full flexibility. i am going to be flying to Singapore next week for a week. I've discussed this with my doctor and I am fine to fly, just have to wear compression socks to keep the swelling under control. Since, I'm also going to end up walking quite a bit, I've been recommended to take my Cam Walker with me and use it while on the trip. Ideally, I should not be flying and should be staying off my feet as much as possible... but staying home for 3 months is not an option.
So, my question is - should I wear the Cam Walker on the flight.... I've scored exit row seats for all flights and wouldn't want to give that up due to being labelled as not fit for the exit row. My leg is fully healed and I am capable of opening the exit in case of an emergency.
Cheers,
MrHyde
