Hello, I've found Epsom salts baths very helpful. There are days I cannot really get going till I've done this. It helps relax muscles, which (in my case) reduces nerve pain. Last Point, it is inexpensive.
@A MyChronicPainTeam Member hello it definitely does help with arthritis pain and also helps with swelling of ankles from other serious health conditions and I have soaked my feet in a bucket of warm water and Epsom Salt to get the swelling down
