Unlikely: At 8 Y.O. You may be suffering something called osteochondrosis.This is when the blood flow to your growth plates may be altered and although when the plates close in yor teenage years, you can get relief with rest, ice, children's advil or tylenol, (acetaminophen) foot orthotics and sometimes cortisone injections. There are other possible causes, so go to a foot dr.(podiatrist) to be examined and get an x-ray
