Hi Swati,

As such there is no harm in long term travel but it totally depends on your current health condition and if u have swelling in your arm/hand then dont hang your hand for long time and keep doing exercise during the travel also...so all will be fine...its not necessary to wear the travel..its all depends on your comfort.

Regards,

Manish
