Are you otherwise very active on any given day when you’re not on a plane? Maybe you’re never sitting that still and confined for 5 hours straight and your body just isn’t used to it? Are you tall? I can see where it would totally suck to be tall and fly for any amount of time, really. The only time I’m ever thankful to be 5’3" is when I’m flying and can have a bag under the seat in front of me and still stretch out my legs and cross my legs if I want to.
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
This was going to be my question too. I understand there are certain sized people who can comfortably sit on a plane but I’m not one of them. Even worse is when the idiot in front of you thinks they’re entitled to recline but there’s nowhere for your knees to go, or, I don’t remember what airline but where it’s easier to watch the screen of the person in front of you than your own
So I should suffer, right? I didn’t really want to start this old war again where the self-righteous short people feel entitled to cause pain for those of us just a little taller, but just like anything else, your right to be a shithead ends where it causes me physical harm. How is you repeatedly slamming your seat back into my knees any different from little napoleon walking up and hitting someone? And are you going crying to the flight attendant if I feel entitled to defend myself?

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.

Why wouldn’t they be entitled to recline? Seems to be an issue with the airline not providing enough space and not the person in front of you.

Your anger is directed at the wrong entity.
