How To Treat Excruciating Pain In Leg,foot And Toe In A 3 Years Old Child?

My 3 year old grandson is very often awakened in the night with excruciating leg pain and more recently foot and toe pain. He has never liked anything on his toes, sensitivity to socks and shoes. more comfortable in boots. What could be going on. He stays overnights with me and when he awakens with this at 2-3 am, he crys and crys wanting me to continually rub them, with little relief!
