Question Lower Back Pain

I work for a UK airline flying small regional jets. I also suffer from episodes of moderate/severe lower back pain. Despite all the best eforts of doctors and physiotherapists, it looks like I am going to have to live with the problem for the longer term.

Like many smaller aircraft types the little jet (E145) does not provide very comfortable seating, especially if you are tall like me. Needless to say this exacerbates the problem. Does anyone know about any good cushions or other portable support device that I can buy for aircraft use?
