How To Treat Calf Pain In A 12 Years Old Child?

My son had a episode tonight where he just moved his leg and he said he felt a piercing sharp pain in his left calf. He is 12 years old and plays football and sports. It hurt him so bad he cried out in pain and then before he went to bed he could not walk on it. What in the world could it be? Only in one leg.

hi,

this could simply be a muscle cramp in his leg. if his symptoms recur I would ensure he stretches his muscles after excercise. a warm bath or shower become bed can also help.
