I travel a bit too. First off, talk to your doctor. When you’re flying take pain medication. If you have prescribed pain medication, take it before he flight and during.

Wear comfortable clothes. Sweatpants and a sweatshirt. You need to be comfortable.

Depending on what class you’re in. Try to get booked on a seat with space, leg space. Personally if you’re able, business class is best for me since I can stretch out and remove the pressure on my pelvis and lie down.

Get a cushion for added comfort.

Distract yourself. Planes are weird, you sit next to strangers and you get into personal space. Read a book, download movies, tv to your devices.

When you’re off the plane, in your hotel, take a shower, try and find a bathtub, sit in hot water, cold water, whatever is comfortable.

Be realistic. If you seriously feel unable to travel and you don’t have the support you need to minimize pain, talk to your employer.
