Multiple members recommend a weighted blanket. They say it helps with their restless legs at night and helps with pain. They particularly like this company because it drapes around you and all the pressure isn't on top of pressure points.

One that is too heavy could cause more issues than help.

This app monitors your specific body to let you know when you are overdoing it so you can pace yourself through the day. It has been a game changer for some members.
