Bone: The very best thing to do is see your podiatrist for an evaluation and x rays . Without the patient before any of us this is very difficult to make a comment about

Unclear: It's hard to give a helpful answer without more information. It would be reasonable to have him evaluated by a podiatrist and x-rays taken to assess the area. Children seldom have pain as a primary symptom.
