What Causes Pain In Inner Thigh Of A Child?

My 5 year old son s left inner thigh hurts him horribly about once every 3-4 weeks. Could this just be growing pains? He screams and cries while this lasts for 1-2 days. It is always the same side. We are very worried but the doctors keep saying bring him in when it hurts but by the time we get him in, it stops hurting. Any info would be great.

Hi..such a sever pain which stops before you go the doctor could be a muscular spasm. If I were your kid's pediatrician I would investigate the kid for reason for recurrent muscular spasm like low calcium levels or low vitamin D levels.
