you can get cushions and pillows for even better lumbar support. Don't know how good they are but products exist.

Congrats! And normal pillows aren't typically meant to be sat on. You could look into something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Everlasting-Comfort-Cushion-Designed-Tailbone/dp/B01EBDV9BU/
I would definitely get one. I have an office job and I have to sit for multiple hours a day. I have had this cushion for about two years and it’s still holding up. I would also suggest getting up to walk around a little every hour or get a standing desk.

I’ve used that for both my car and desk chair :)
My chair is too large for me and I bought one of those foam seat cushions on Amazon. Now I don't feel like I'm swimming in my chair AND it's hella comfortable!
When I got my 3 I drove it so much for fun I hurt my back and neck quite a bit and it took months and a lot of PT, massage, and stretching to recover. I was in marginal condition before obviously, but I was at least able to manage existence without pain.
The main issue of course was the stupid fscking headrest. I found this back support from Amazon made all the difference https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H5D3LAA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got one of these tailbone relief cushions when I bruised my tailbone, and now I'm just using it for posture and comfort. Anyone who sits in my chair at work says it's soooo comfortable and they want one.
I purchased this one from amazon. I got mine removed last week. I’ve been using it every day around the house and in my car and it works well.

What about something like this on a chair with lumbar support?
Long car ride ------- ahhhhhhh, may your butt be in bliss the whole time.
ComfiLife Gel Enhanced Seat Cushion car seat cushion
If you have to go on long car trips frequently - say goodbye to the numb butt and having to keep repositioning how you are sitting. I will never drive without it!
I have a 2014 sport and the seats are garbage. I am a tall and large guy and the seats are simply not designed for big guys. I bought a seat lumbar from amazon and now it's just perfect: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H5D3LAA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_S16Y96FN762Q0EA4VW0K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I bought this last week and it has made chair sitting a pleasure again! Total game changer.
Edited sorry for ugly link, I need someone to teach me how to make pretty links.
I would echo a lot of the recommendations above but also get a cushion to make it more comfortable when you have to sit like this one

I have one of these at my desk and one in my car. It has helped so much with lower back pain. I can tell the difference on days I don’t use it.
Thanks for joining the conservative forum. Heres a link to a doughnut so you can begin the healing process. We know being a liberal for that long hurts.
I thought there were leather, but leatherette $113 Amazon (sale)

Easy to install 2pc per seat. I do use ArmorAll on it and it keeps it nice.
Because it matches the car, many people think it came with the car. Been happy with them. Yes, the heated seats still work, in case anyone asks.
I got this thing from Amazon today and it is already a lifesaver for the chair I use for working from home: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014F18ZGU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I know it’s hard. I’m sorry. If you can take breaks to get off of your tailbone, try. Also if you don’t have a coccyx cushion, I highly recommend one. Amazon has some good ones. I use this one and like it.

I have one at work and one at home.
When I was delivering 30+ hours a week, I got one of those back lumbar support pads. It helped. And, of course, take breaks, stretch, drink tons of water.
I got a cushion to help with that.. it still gets sore but less and it takes longer to get to that point

I present to you my best friend post surgery
Unfortunately the current chair I have is at max height in the photograph attached, only the arm rests can go up :( . I have previously tried using an old contured office cushion, similar to this one on amazon and an extra pillow, to add extra seat height, however, at best they both add 2-2.5" to the chair's height, but it's not enough to get the me in an ergonomic typing position. Plus, the current desk I have has a fixed height, and does not come with shorter legs to my knowledge.
I plan on getting a height adjustable desk in the future, like this one from secret labs, however, I am stuck with the desk unit I have until I can afford a new one, probably until black friday.
Lastly, since my Hot Dox is not compatible with the tenting kit for the ergodox ez i'm kinda stuck having to jerry-rig a tenting solution (altoids cans with rubber feet (4 on botton, 2 hidden on top)) to achieve some sort of tenting. I could go on a tangent into all kinds of soultions I'm trying to brainstorm to replace my current tenting solution, but that's a discussion for another time.
If possible, do you know anything that is within my grasp that I can do to get rid of my current typing posture issue and pain(i.e any new or used ergonmic chairs under $150, diy seat height adjustment, etc.). Thanks again for your help and dropping a comment.
I would try to see a doctor if you can and try to get an X-Ray. I also would recommend investing in a coccyx pillow if you think it’s going to be an issue that lasts for more than a week. It’ll help take the pressure off of your tailbone and you’ll be much more comfortable throughout the day. My wife fractured her tailbone and this helped her a lot.

Did my research and felt it was the best one based on having enough review while also being reasonably priced. I keep it in a re-usable Lululemon bag as it's a bit too big to stuff into my backpack.
I can explain the ass pain from sitting, if it is like me -
They basically field dressed me like a deer - cut around the anal ring, and into the body cavity, removing the end 20 cm of guts and my anus. This when stitched closed left my coccyx [tail bone] unsupported by the wodge of tissues normally found there, so when I sit for a period of time [starts around an hour, depending on posture] which stresses out my tailbone, and causes it to be painful.
I combat this by snipping a lidocaine patch into thirds, and using each third directly over the tailbone to dull out any general pain. For when I am in my car, I use one of theseat cushions that has the cut out for the coccyx.
You need to get a donut pillow and bring it EVERYWHERE with you. This one is really great and helped when I broke my tailbone. Donut Pillow Hemorrhoid Tailbone... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RGVPR8D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have the same problem. Bought this thing and it helps quite a bit. Also, because you can adjust the lumbar up, the height difference of sitting on the cushion is compensated for. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01EBDV9BU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Good luck 🙂
My spouse has chronic pain and fractured their tailbone a few years ago. One of the only things that helped them throughout the day was a tailbone support pillow. They used it everywhere they sat and it helped a lot with the pressure. Ice also seemed to help the most.
By the one you bought was it this one https://www.amazon.ca/Everlasting-Comfort-Coussin-mousse-m%C3%A9moire/dp/B01EBDV9BU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=15NAZNBDRXGM1&keywords=coccyx+pillow&qid=1659331128&sprefix=coccyx+pillow%2Caps%2C233&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5j...?
That's actually the best.pillow on amazon currently but costs double the amount of the pillow I linked previously. I also went to see it's reviews and it were tall great and some said it's really bad and a waste of money. Every pillow review under 30 dollars has negativity I'm really stressed in which one truly is the right one for me been months I didn't buy because of this reason
The one for your legs could be just substituted with pillow, no? I have three of these coccyx cushions: one for my car, for my chair at home, and one for the office. I've been using them for about a year and they've held up in terms of quality.
