Saddles are so personal irclean it's hard to make a recommendation. I have a Brooks flyer pre-aged on my commuting/touring bike. However my saddle is about even or slightly below the handlebars. On my commuting/hardtail bike I am currently using a Rido 2 saddle which I am still adjusting. It is replacing a BG Sonoma 155. On this bike my saddle is about even to above my handlebars.
Remember with saddles there are other adjustments to consider beside saddle height. You have both fore/aft positioning as well as tilt. Both may help as far as comfort is concerned.
I am not sure how long you have been riding but do you think it is an repetitive/overuse type injury? Maybe a few days off the bike would help (although i do know how addicting it can be). If you are going from a sedentary lifestyle to riding a few miles every single day without time off maybe its time for a break.
Happy holidays and hope everything works out.
