Long haul travel advice help please

Hi, hoping someone could help me. I'm due to go on a bucket list holiday, whilst I'm currently still mobile and taking a long haul flight of 20+ hours. I've read conflicting reports about whether compression socks are needed. My concern, and that in the reports stated that if you have tingling\sensations in your legs th socks are not a good idea. I'm reaching out for any advice re long haul travel that anyone could give, as my M&s nurses have failed to reply to my questions. Thanks

hey! we travelled to New Zealand this year and I didn’t use compression socks (I didn’t really think of it as I never had any circulation problems before). I do get the occasional twitches/ tingly legs (especially when tired) and so I was often just waking around the plane when I felt uncomfortable
