Recently, I went into my LBS, convinced I needed to try a narrower saddle with a different shaped cut out.
Bike Guy John came out of the service department, and asked how he could help. So, I explained my situation. He asked if I'd bought the bike along. Nope, I hadn't -- I can put a saddle on my bike, didn't figure there was any need.
I want to see you on the bike before I'll sell you a saddle, he said. "I think it's a reach issue." I thanked him and said I'd be back in a couple of days with the bike.
I have the same saddle and I'm much happier on it now. I have a shorter stem that's been angled up a bit more, and my saddle is farther back, down a bit lower, and angled a bit differently. No charge for the hour of his time or the parts.
Except that I bought some socks, and dragged DH in to figure out his wheel problem the other day.
We may still change the saddle, after I put more miles on it with this set up, but it's MUCH better than it was!
Maybe someone else needs to look at you on your bike, along with the possibility of a different saddle?
