Best Answer

Yes, dehydration can definitely cause muscle spasms. If you are taking a high dose diuretic (fluid pill) that can also cause it, due to the depletion of potassium in your body. If so, eating a banana or drinking Orange Juice, or consuming other foods high in potassium will replace the potassium, and will help eliminate the muscle spasms. If you continue to have the muscle spasms, you need to have your doctor examine you to determine the cause of them.

What can cause legs to bruise easily and constantly ache and what can stop it?

Poor circulation is one cause of this condition. The poor circulation could be caused by serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or morbid obesity (or all three). Overuse of NSAIDs (Motrin, Aleve, aspirin, etc.) can cause very easy bruising. A reaction to statins can cause leg weakness and aching, especially in the great muscles of the leg. Poor footwear and posture can also cause leg weakness and aching.
