Traveling can be a challenge if you have knee pain. Here are some travel tips that could make your travel or vacation more enjoyable.
- Advance preparations are important for any trip. Be realistic about what activities you are safely able to do
- Evaluate vacation tours carefully to see if they are right for you. Research the amenities, transportation and lodging options offered in the vacation tour. This can be done either online or with your travel agent
- If you need wheelchair assistance when booking air travel reservations, request it with the airline when the trip is booked
- Carry more medication than you think you’ll need just in case you happen to extend your trip
- Travel with a brief medical history of yourself, including a list of your prescriptions and your physician’s name and phone number
- Use luggage with wheels and take only those items on the plane that you’ll need in-flight
- Wear comfortable walking shoes
Relax, enjoy and don’t overdo it!
