Buzzing Sensation In Leg

My 8-year old son is complaining of a buzzing feeling in his right leg (starting at about half way down the shin , leading into the foot ). I remember having growing pains quite often as a child, but I do not think that is what he is feeling. He says that it feels like his leg is moving on the inside. This couldn t possibly be RLS , could it? :-(
