Did he fall? I hope he is ok. He should see his doctor for therapy and treatment if needed.
There are many causes of knee pain in middle childhood, most of which are benign. Your son should be evaluated by his primary care provider. If his knee has no swelling, warmth, redness, stiffness or limitation of range of motion, it is unlikely that he knee pain is due to arthritis.
