I know about the getting in/out of tub problems if you can swing it and what I'd like to get is a walk-in type tub. I think that would help the most since the deeper water at the feet would increase the water pressure.
If you can get a chair near your tub you could always just put your feet in for a soak.
Good Luck and best wishes
I think the magnesium helps as well as the steady warm pressure. That's why the Epsom salt lotion works AND why I'm pretty much pain free in warm ocean water.
