If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

You really need him to see a Rheumatologist if there is any possibility of him having an inflammatory condition. Seeing a GP will not get you there and it cannot be diagnosed using lab and x-rays alone.
For some HLA-B27 can be negative or negative result.
SED can be normal for some but if it is high makes it easier to get transfered to a Rheumy.
Stress can affect inflammation levels and at the very least make it harder to tolerate the pain.

If I sit in one position too long, my hip will lock and then it'll pop when I try to move it, so it does sound like AS, but your son should see a doctor about it. It could be osteoarthritis or some other issue as well. Good luck.
