Hi XXXXXXX welcome to XXXXXXX The bone swelling is not a contraindication for air travel.You should take prescription painkillers like diclofenac or tramadol+paracetamol, 1hour prior to boarding the flight to avoid pain.I hope the advise would be helpful for you.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
