Any Chelate = glycinate, citrate, gluconate, malate, taurate etc.
Magnesium in chloride form used in delayed release also works.
This is called SlowMag (generic =Mag64) It needs smaller doses because it works better for most people,
Topical forms applied to the target area, work well too.
There is Morton Epsom Lotion, Kirkman's cream, Epsom-It etc.
The Morton is what many of us use here.
Go for 1/2 the RDA to start. That is about 200mg elemental (except for SlowMag which is one tablet twice a day).
This is our Magnesium thread:

Magnesium blocks the NMDA pain receptors, and is helpful for pain control. Most people do not get enough magnesium thru the diet, and therefore are not functioning optimumly.
