    I use cruise control 100%

    Half the time I'm sitting and half the time I'm resting on the steering wheel.

    I change positions.

    While driving on the interstate I will sit up 20-30 miles at a time, not resting back against the chair. This and walking has helped reduce minor back discomfort.
    Good luck.

    Thank you, everyone. These are all good suggestions. I figured there was a good chance that someone else here would have this same problem considering all of the sitting we do. Hoping this isn't a vascular issue.
     
    Concorde and xsetra Thank this.

    Seriously, see a doctor or a specialist.
    And cut out the soft drinks and sugar.

    And try to be more active whenever possible. Even if its going to the furtherest fuel lane so its an extra 100 foot walk inside.(after you pulled up)

    i had the same issue twice in my career.

    1st time?

    herniated disk

    2nd time..??

    another herniated disk.

    end result after the 1st time...spinal fusion 3/4 (L) disks

    end result of the 2nd time......reworked spinal fusion from the 3L all the way down to the S-2 (pelvic to ulum with 4" screws into the ulum / hip)

    you'll need to seek out your doctor, back x-rays and maybe a color contrast dye MRI, are in your future.

    good luck

    Different parts of your body start giving out at certain ages. Late 40's early 50's it's your lower back. Then mid to late 50's it's your neck. You can also keel over from a heart attack. (no fun) But watch out for age 60ish, I mean, it could be anything from the inside to that dog-gone right leg ache......In my 70's now and my butt hurts when get off the couch ( to grab another beer) I almost stumble into the kitchen first 3-4 steps ! !

    Baggy sweat pants and a tshirt too small to cover your gut are also acceptable options.
