It takes time for a saddle and butt to become compatable. Run it for a couple of hundred miles before deciding to buy a new saddle.

But saddle adjustment- Height and fore and aft position can be altered. Get the sit bones back on the wide part of the saddle as a starter. Then angle the nose to the right position to get weight off the Pubic Bone. Then ride it till it gets comfortable. If it doesn't - then start on the quest for a dream saddle- sometimes takes years.
