Hi,
Loss of fluid and electrolytes due to vomiting can cause dehydration, sore legs or leg pain and cramps. Oral rehydration solution, intravenous fluids and anti-emetic will be required to reduce the symptoms. Vitamin D and calcium deficiency can also cause such symptoms which should also be ruled out.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
