If you are considering a new saddle as a remedy, make one of these before you head out to buy one. Get a cleam piece of cardboard. Set it on a stair. Sit on it straight for a few minutes. Take a crayon or piece of chalk and usining the side, rub it across the cardboard. Measure from the center of each depression in cm's. This maps where your sitz bones (ischial tuberosities) are and get a saddle that supports them. I did and it really helped.
