What Can Anal Discomfort Be In A 12 Years Old Child While Sitting For Long Hours With No Itching Or Burning?

My 12 year old son can t sit down for long periods of time. He is very restless. He stands to do homework, and lays on his stomach also, when doing homework. I feel its when he is maybe stressed, although he can easily sit/lay when watching tv, without complaints. He can t sit on the chair cushions on our wooden kitchen chairs, he always flips up the cushion. He has excellent hygiene, I haven t noticed any odour etc...He doesn t complain of itching or burning. He doesn t scratch. He says this has been bothering him for over 2 years at least, probably longer. Sitting for an length of time, in school, in a car, on an airplane, it all bothers him. He has not travelled to any odd or parasitic known locations. We have no pets, and never have. He is generally a healthy kid, and doesn t take any medication. NKA.
