Travel Hacks

I get awful lower back pain when flying, to the point where it’s almost unbearable. I don’t fly very often but I visit family for holidays when I can and it’s only a 6 hour flight (almost never direct so I get a break mid travel). I usually fly with Air Canada or west jet because they’re pretty much the only options, but the seats with both companies concave so there is no back support. The seats pretty much keep your spine in a hunched over position. I try stuffing a coat behind my lower back but the last few flights I’ve been on an attendant has told me to put my jacket under the seat or in the overhead bin. My mom has bad anxiety so she won’t fly to visit me, but flights are getting so painful for me I don’t know if I can continue to fly home if I don’t find a remedy. I’ve tried sedation, anti inflammatories, prescription pain killers, walking around mid flight, upgrading when I’ve been able too and so far no luck.
