A blood clot after a knee arthroscopy is a rare complication (some estimate that 1-3% of cases). If you're going to fly, get an aisle seat, walk around, etc. An aspirin has to be something deferred to you surgeon given that he/she knows what was involved in your actual procedure (most simple partial menisectomies have minimal if any bleeding, but again, depends on what was done). If you do wrap an ACE bandage, make sure it's not just around your knee - then it can actually make things worse by acting like a tourniquet. You have to wrap it from your toes going upwards. Best of luck!
