Sounds good.

You might try the magnesium lotion many of us use.

Morton Epsom lotion.
This does 3 things:

Improves circulation to the affected applied area.
Reduces any muscle tension or cramping.
Reduces pain by blocking the NMDA pain receptors.

This is available at most WalMarts and Walgreens locally and also online at Amazon:

You can apply a quarter sized dollop a day... to intact skin.
You can rotate sites daily as one application MAY last more than one day. Too much will result in fatigue, over-relaxation, or lowering of high blood pressure if you take drugs for that. The drugs may become too strong and need adjustment. This shouldn't happen for normal people with no pressure problems.
Don't apply to the bottoms of the feet, as the skin is too thick there for absorption. Tops of the feet and ankles is where I apply mine.

If you have any swelling, this lotion may reduce that too.
