By using only for short trips. 2hrs or less. I also placed one of those colorful lowrider sheets used as seat covers on my seat to add padding. I wear thin shirts. Thick ones bulge insignificantly but significantly pick at my back. I also switch buttcheek here and there. I wear loose shoes. I sit straight, then lean a tad back. Added a pillow but got stolen in SJ. Damming you SJ!

I've taken long trips before, >500 miles, and it didn't bother me, but this time after driving 800 miles it feels like someone punched me in the right kidney.

That's a 800 trip. I bet if I were sleeping those 800miles, I'd still ache. I'm 26. Drink lot of water. Rotate cheek. Pull over for 3min. My longest trip has been 300miles roundtrip in the back seat.

The drive was mostly interstate but it's construction time, lots of rough road.

Better tires. Better suspension will lessen it. Drive slower. I go 45-50 on bad roads. I'd rather pull over to let race cars go faster than hurt me. Age is an issue. Body mass isn't the same in terms of durability of a 18yr old.
I say, just have seats redone with more padding. Use seat covers. Add a rolled up pillow or something to your side's. Snuggly.
If all else fails and your worried about your health, then by all means buy a new car. Wrx is softer imho. I've test driven them. Mustang too.
