Sore leg---> If you excercised or worked your leg harder than usual, it could be because of a lactic acid build up in your muscle. When you excercise, there is not enough oxygen for the cells in your leg (using this as an example). Because there is not enough oygen for those cells to undergo aerobic respiration, they used anaerobic respiration. This is called fermentation. The product of this process is lactic acid, which builds up in your muscles and creates a burning sensation during excercise and will make your legs sore for the next couple days.

Twitching----> This happens when you do not have enough potassium. It has to do with the sodium/potassium pumps that are in your cells. Sodium and potassium are the elements that are onvolved with muscle impulses and nerve impulses, so if you are lacking one or the other, your muscles can start to twitch as a result. Eating a banana and getting more potassium in your system is one way to help stop it.
