Hi,
It seems he has got some infection which has settled at the muscles or in bone. Infection of muscle and bone tend to be more painful as muscles are at rest at night while sleeping. See an orthopedician immediately. Your friend requires immediate medical attention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
