Re: "back pain level: I wish I could sit in a chair like aโฆ"
From the discussion we had (I think) on Station, I understand you've had medical advice, and know there isn't some specific pathology that has to be treated. If that's the case, I guess all you can do is try to increase the time between episodes. I doubt that the length or severity of each "outage" can be affected all that much, particularly as you already know what gives relief.
Many people in this situation find that trunk-strengthening exercises help to reduce the frequency of attacks, but they need to be carried our religiously, no exceptions. I don't know if you've seen a physiotherapist, but strengthing the core musculature to protect the lower back is meat-and-drink to them.
