Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your son might be having growing pains at this age. This is a harmless muscular pain endured by children at this age. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and to be made after examination by a pediatrician. If it is confirmed, it will disappear after few months.
Hope this helps
