You may not need oral if you soak every day.
If you have poor circulation to the feet, oral magnesium cannot get there as it is carried by the blood.
Magnesium can be lost from using diuretics, and caffeine and alcohol are prime causes of this loss. People taking drugs that are diuretic also lose magnesium, as well as diabetics as part of the process of poor blood sugar control.
Magnesium really relaxes muscles, and will help twitching too.
It can really help you sleep.
Oral works well for some people, who are not sensitive to the laxative effects. I've moved on from oral to a magnesium lotion, which I do like.
Here is our magnesium thread:

If you do move on to oral eventually, avoid the ones with magnesium oxide, as this is not absorbed from the GI tract.
