In addition to the great advice you've received about saddle height and angle, make sure you pay attention to saddle width as well. It could mean the difference between feeling neutral and comfortable during/after a ride and, as Lyndon Johnson once put it, feeling like you are "riding a wire fence." The saddle you currently have is on the narrow side, so it's another variable to consider.
