Over use of a muscle at any age is going to cause pain. It is possible to develop carpal tunnel syndrome at a young age. The biggest problems doctors are saying nowadays have to do with computers and the pain They cause. I recommend you have a complete examination of your son by your medical doctor. That way you can know for sure what is the problem and what to do to help.

Its possible,though highly unlikely. It may just be a growing pain. If the pain persists take him to the doctor for Xrays.
