See pediatrician: Low back pain with radiation to the side in a 9 year old is unusual; it could be a muscle sprain or a slipped vertebral disk. He should see his pediatrician who may refer him to a specialist if he needs to.

Many Causes/M.D.: There are many conditions that this may be related to. I would advise an assessment of his spine, nervous and muscular systems. Other causes may involve a kidney injury or infection.
