Suggest Treatment For Frequent And Painful Muscles

I am a 75year old man who suffers from frequent, painful muscle spasms throughout my body. Some are so painful as to cause me to loose use of hands or arms depending on the site of the spasm. Do I need supplementation? Am i dehydrated? Any suggestions appreciated.

taking plenty of water certainly helps you from these spasms.
