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

Hmm, I have a desk job too, but I get up and stretch a lot, and workout at least twice a week. Does this only happen to you on planes? Do you ever sit for 5 hours anywhere else? Does it happen after like a 3 hour movie, or JUST on planes? I did find this interesting article about soreness and flying: https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advice/general-travel-health-advice/air-travel

Yeah i have to move a few times during long tv shows and movies. Same for meetings, dinner.

As others have suggested it doesnt seem to be normal, ill talk to my PCP about it.

Yeah, if it's not something a little stretching or rehydration can't fix it seems iffy. Talk to a doctor for sure.
