After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?

    • (I will be so happy when transporters get invented)
    • as others have mentioned, outside of an actual medical condition, best you can hope for is mitigation
    • compression socks, neck pillow, eye mask, noise cancelling headphones
    • stay hydrated – one of the big drivers behind jet lag is plain old dehydration
    • aisle seat – you can get up, walk around a bit, hit up the bathroom, all without having to climb over your neighbors every single time

      i rarely sleep when traveling. I’ll consider a neck pillow next time. i’m pretty good about jet lag, and yeah i’ve been picking aisle seats every time i fly.
