Drink more whiskey between rounds.

I'm assuming you are of legal age in your country of residence. If not, quit chess and start playing football (soccer if you're an American).

Sit on your girfriend's lap, the pain will not be noticeable at all, but you ..may hit the table with.. and if so just lower the chair height for clearance and a more enjoyable experience.

Put a 3 inch cushion on the chair.

For your back pain it is not easy to recommend any cure as you have not mentionned which part of your back hurts.

In any event, you need more excersise, and the most important part is chair height to your station, posture and sitting on a chair with good lombar support. After 45 minutes take a 5 to 10 minute walk and return to your game.

In otb chess I frequently get up and move around. A bit of blood circulation improves concentration.

You could play one of them progressive relaxation tapes that say things like

"Your butt is getting more and more relaxed with every breath you take,

Feeling so relaxed now, deeper and deeper, soooooooooo chilled out now,

As you listen to my voice it feels like your butt is as happy as a smiling kittycat".

Idk, this piece of advice comes close. Maybe you could do both?

Thank you Fixing, too kind. 

Alternatively, take up checkers.  Easier to insert.

You can have them surgically removed. I think that would solve the problem.

Another thing you can do is slam your foot in the door. Then you will be too busy feeling the pain in your foot, you'll forget you even have a back or a butt.

Stand on your head. This way you can also better re-enact your adversary's ruminations from his position.
