Right leg is twitching..when i tap it kinda hard i feel the sensation of twitching ..does not hurt. any idea what it may be? or why it is being caused

Most likely benign: In certain conditions called neuropathies, tingling and numbness etc are not common but more commonly due to transient imbalance in electrolyte and calcium etc may cause the symptom as we'll. if symptoms persist, you can get blood test to make sure you don't have any deficiency that can be easily correctly.
