Since you're working so much, you probably can't even tell, unless you had a couple weeks off on vacation. Anyway, I just want to suggest that you make sure to tell your doctor of the frequency of your travel and the many hours of work. It could help guide your doctor to a clue as to the cause of the problem. Good Luck!
The traveling a lot for business is a new occurrence, and it's not really "a lot" compared to some people in my office. And it should only be temporary until April of next year. But I have been working a lot of overtime this year compared to last year which means sitting at my desk. Gotta go get those compression knee highs or some kind of compression stocking and see if that helps. Or else I gotta win the Lottery and move to TV next week .
