Sounds more like a seat angle issue. Adjust the nose of the seat up a bit, maybe just 1 notch. The angle of the seat changes your weight distribution. Nose down, weight on arms, hands, and shoulders. Nose up, weight on back and rear end. This will not affect seat height. Ideally, the saddle should be level, but many saddle and seatposts will not get a level seat not matter what you do, as the notches are just a bit off from the saddle's construction. One notch forward puts the nose down, one notch back puts the nose up with no middle ground.
