Just did a bit of searching and found this. Maybe it would work.

If you double it like you would for a cuff, it would be similar to the yoga pants bands. Putting the seams at the sides, would eliminate the back seam problem. Maybe you could try altering a pair of pants you already have, with this.

If you sew, you might try the little magazine called Home Sew which sells every type of elastic and gadgets needed for home sewing. Good company to work with.

What about sewing some overalls style pattern? You would have no binding at the waist and could wear a pull over T, sweatshirt jacket, or even a "wear outside" blouse.

There a few nursing uniform pants that have the soft knit band at the waist. Or would you be able to sew or attach a soft fleece on the inside of any regular pants to make like a cushion where it touches your back? Or make a band that rides around your hips and lower abdomen that pads your spine? Kind of like a garter belt.

I have used what used to be sold as "cuff stuff" to make waistbands, and put elastic through I it to cope with fibromyalgia issues.

The very comfortable Jockey underwear are called "Comfies". I wear them, I finally bought new ones although my 10 year old ones are still "like new". They are very durable and do not pill. They have no seams. I used to have to wait till I went to a big city, outlet Jockey store, but they are now available at Kohls.
