 Hi Apav5,
I would recommend you have your son see his doctor. It may simply be some trauma to the thigh muscle; however, often thigh pain is actually referred pain from the hip.
There are some things that can cause hip pain in his age that are important to evaluate for including legg-calve-perthes disease, infections and simple trauma.
Some of these need treatment so an evaluation is important.
Best wishes.
