Brief Answer: Causes listed below. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The weakness in the legs and muscle spasms that you are having are likely to be related to a neurological cause. Sometimes, it can be due to dehydration, muscle fatigue or electrolyte abnormalities. It is better to drink sufficient fluid and also see that your intake of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium ) is sufficient. .You can drink Oralyte for this. It can also happen due to excessive alcohol intake, excessive anxiety, diabetes, hypothyroidism, neural problems like MS, Vitamin B 12 deficiency etc. Do consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and treatment. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.
