Thank you for the tip - I am willing to try anything! I have actually had to have this sucker injected with cortisone twice at my dermatologist's...late last summer and two years prior to that. It's a nasty little beast! I should probably try some different saddles (have already tried several different shorts), but I think it's caused by the way I sit on the saddle a little crooked from my pelvic fractures in '05, so I am not sure a different saddle would help.
