Deep vein thrombosis looks pretty scary though, guess I better wear them.

Apparently you should always wear compression stockings when flying for longer than 5 hrs.

On long flights you can always get up once every half an hour and walk around and do squats. I think that if you do that, you don't need any special gear.

Do you think you will fly again now you have t @Bill Bauer ?

I began flying a little over a year after the onset. The longest flight I've been on over the past year was 16 hours long. If one doesn't go on turboprop planes (the ones with a propeller), and wears noise-cancelling headphones (with earplugs underneath), it ought to be ok. Airbus planes are especially quiet (unlike Boeing planes).
