As well as the dehydration, there is the problem of restricted blood flow which, like driving long distances, has been known to give my knees and ankles a gouty going-over.

Is there anything you would suggest might help. Obviously drinking lots to try and stay hydrated … but is there anything I could do to help the blood flow?
