One of my pain doctors mentioned that dehydration makes pain worse. Scientifically, why is this the case?

What kind of pain? That might not always be true. In hospice, a lot of patients, towards death, prefer to be a little less hydrated. I don’t know why but it does happen. I guess to each his own.

My guess though is that water is 60% of our body. Being hydrated will help you function more and is the oil to the body’s machine.
