It is not a serious issue based on its chronicity in nature. However, your son should be evaluated thoroughly by an orthopedist in order to make the correct diagnosis. Good luck.

Sometimes, small stress fractures can occur, which may elude discovery on standard X-rays but may be visualized via the use of a bone scan or a CAT scan. Discuss this with your physician.
