hi mummy, may want to consider using compression socks.
i got mine from https://www.rainbowcare.com.sg/compression-stockings. it helps me whenever i start feeling sore and uncomfortable on my legs/thigh. i don't recommend getting open toe ones. so if you do plan to get one, get the full covered socks. preferably get the one the reaches your thigh. i would usually sleep with the compression socks. it get pretty warm but it helped me with the soreness and achy feeling.
