Question: My 8 year old boy is suddenly complaining of leg pain right from the knee to the foot and he cant walk What could be the problem
Answer: Hello 

Good morning So sorry about your boy Any complaint from a child should be taken seriously That being said did he fall from a height  is the affected leg swollen does it feel hot  

A fall can cause pain and when there is pain the child would not want to use the affected leg until the pain eases out 

I suggest you go see a doctor from a proper evaluation preferably a pediatrician because he will need to be examined as to ascertain what the problem could be 

Be assured that he will be fine 

Cheers
