There are numerous possibilities. Since he walked quite a bit, he could have something called Osgood-Schlatter which is inflammation of the tibia and usually presents with a knot below the kneecap. He could have a popliteal cyst, or a slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Of course, there is always the possibility of trauma (kids playing around) resulting in a fracture or tear of the ligaments or menisci. I would highly recommend evaluation by a Physician
The history a day trip by your son, followed by painful right leg that prohibits weight bearing, is inadequate for determining what the problem could be. I need to know kind of trip, geographical location of destination, what kind of activities he participated in, during which activity the leg pain starte, whether he sustained accidental fall or collision, the character of the pain, the intensity of the pain, and whether or not the limb is swelling or losing strenth. I will also like to know if he has had a similar experience in the past. Answers to these questions will enable me to do a focused physical examination of the. right leg and come up with a working diagnosis.
