Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query

Yes, spasms of a few minutes can leave soreness in the muscles affected for hours or even days.

Spasms can occur in any muscle in the body. They are common in Vitamin D and or Vitamin B12 deficiencies.

I recommend you to get levels of both vitamins assesed. Supplementation in case of deficiencies can help to get rid of the problem.

Hope, I answered your query

Wishing you good health
