"If you were sitting down for too long then just..."

If you mean sore as in tight then it depends. If you were sitting down for too long then just get up and stretch more but if it`s after you`ve done stuff like aerobic activity or physical activity then you are building muscle.

Q. Legs feel tight and fatigued during and after runs?
i finished my cross country season about 2 weeks ago and have only jogged a few times. after a jog or even a walk, my legs feel so "tingly", tight, my knees hurt, and my achilles and calves burn. i can no longer run as fast as i could either. should i try ice baths? hot baths? a massage? do i just need to take a complete break from running?

"Try walking for a few minutes and then do a stretch for your legs..."

you need a break from running probably a few days off should do it, and in the future try not to overwork yourself as much. after finishing cross country everyones muscles end up being sore and will take a week or so to fully recover from. i remember when i finished a season my calves hurt when i touched them for a week. its nothing to worry about and should go away in a few days/week, try walking for a few minutes and then do a stretch for your legs, ice can help take down swelling (if there is any) good luck with getting better

Q. Pain in both butt cheeks and the back of my legs feel tight?
just in the past 2 weeks i starting having pain in both of my butt cheeks and also the back of both of my legs all the way down to the back of my knees.the pain in my butt cheeks from a 1to 10 is around a 8 at times and the back of my legs feel like my muscles are tight. when i am setting down or laying down it does not hurt.but when i get up i have the pain, but not all the time. after i walk around for about 30 minutes the pain goes away and the back of my legs feels like the muscle have loosen up.i do alot of walking at work and climping stairs. i also set at times but not for long to type up my report for the day. i do have inflammatoty arthritis in my lower back,but it has not bother me as much in the last 2 weeks for some reason

"This does sounds like a case of tight hamstrings..."

well, i honestly dont know anything about arthritis but this does sounds like a case of tight hamstrings ! A lot of guys have tight hamstrings. I am a figure skater and am very flexible but once im off the ice and my muscles have cooled, my hamstrings are very very tight. Here is my suggestion. Every morning, afternoon, and evening walk around until your muscles "loosen up" or warm up, then STRETCH. Try this out for a week or two everyday and see if there is a difference, also try massaging it along with the stretching. This sounds like muscle pain you would get from a lot of fast paced walking or stair climbing...

Q. Zoloft is making my jaw feel tight, my legs restless, and plus i am not having suicidalthoughts but its making?
zoloft is making my jaw feel tight, my legs restless, and plus i am not having suicidal thoughts but its making me want to jump out my window? i do not want to die or anything but i keep having this wanting to but i am not any tips to get through the night until i can stop taking it tomorrow? how long will it take to get out of my system if i have taken it for a week?? how long until these feelings go away?

"Depending on how long you have taken it depends on..."

Did you just start zoloft? Depending on how long you have taken it depends on how long to get out of your system 2-3 weeks about. If you need to take it I suggest speaking with your doctor about another type of antidepressent. Zoloft has bad side effects and is not commonly used anymore. I would ask your doctor about effexor or an alternate medication

Q. When i run my hamstrings get tight. my legs feel like they just don't want to move sometimes. i work out ?
i work out regularly, stretch. i've been preparing for a long run (13 mi). sometimes my legs just feel like i can't pick them up. i've noticed i've been pounding (my feet on the ground) a bit when i run.

"Your body isn't using itself efficiently and could cause muscle fatigue..."

How flexible are you? Hip and lumbar alignment have an impact on your bodymechanics while your running. If your not aligned correctly, your body isn't using itself efficiently and could cause muscle fatigue. The more flexible you are, the easier your body can take shock from impact while running. Do you have enough support in your shoes?

Q. How do i avoid this tight cramping feeling in my legs and feet when i power walk?
for exercise i walk quickly around a track for about half an hour. it is a really good work out, but i get very discouraged from doing it because my legs feel really tight around the calves and my feet start to hurt and cramp. any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening?

"Tightening of the calf muscles has to do with maybe starting your workout too strong..."

I read somewhere that (besides stretching), tightening of the calf muscles has to do with maybe starting your workout too strong? Have you tried working up to a power walk? The article I read also said that when our muscles are "shocked" or worked up too suddenly, then they are not getting enough oxygen, causing them to tighten up. Or the case may be that your routine is too strenuous, and your body needs a longer period of time to get used to exercise before doing anything too rigorous.
