What I had been doing sort of just dropping my hands in front or beside me, and that really tended to meant they dangled unsupported near my knees or sides. What I discovered if that if I held them in toward my belly button or even on the upper half of the inner-thigh the dull constant back pain was much less noticeable and problematic.
