What Causes Pain In The Legs And Groin?
12 year old son has sharp pain in what he calls his leg but is more akin to the groin area. He says it started hurting last night while he was rough-housing but it s keeping him (and by default everyone else) up. My immediate assumption is muscle pull but his reaction seems a bit over the top. There is no visible trauma (bruising, etc.). Is there something serious it could be or is a pulled muscle the most likely solution?

Hello,
If there is associated fever or redness in that area then you should be concerned about this. But in case it is not there then you should not worry. You may give him pediatric dose of acetaminophen and give him rest from excessive activity.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
