No, it's my butt! It's right on my tailbone. And it's not a boil. It's not red or infected looking. It literally feels like somebody stuck a syringe in and pumped it full of fluid.

Sorry, not my tailbone... I need to learn anatomy. It's not my labia. It's the ramus pubis, but heading more toward the back like my butt. My underwear doesn't cover it though. Just regular coverage type underwear. If that makes sense.

Sitbone? Bursitis?

Just to be clear...you are biking in biking shorts with a chamois pad without wearing your underwear, correct?

Well, I'm mountain biking right now and not road biking. So I don't tend to wear padding as I'm out of the saddle so much, and I've never had an issue with pain before. So I prefer to not wear a chamois mtbing.

The Chamois pad on the bike shorts will help your sit bones whether you mountain bike or road bike. If you are mountain biking on a hardtail, you might want to think about a suspension post for your seat if you are a newbie having a difficult time timing your crouching position off of the saddle on bumps. I'm speaking from personal experience because my sitbones felt soooo much better on my hybrid (with lockout-able suspension) when I went "mountain biking" on trails with my suspension post and biking shorts with chamois padding.

Yeah I just find chamois so uncomfortable on a mtb. On a road bike, where I stay in one position, it's fine. But on a mtb, I'm up and down so much that it really chafes and just feels so bulky and uncomfortable. And honestly, I've been mtbing for years and years and have never had any discomfort beyond the second ride. So I don't see the need. Something must have happened on my first ride this season, I'm just trying to figure out what. Plus, I ride full suspension down hill bikes. I'm only even in the saddle for the climb up. The entire trip down, you never sit. It's 3-6 foot drops, roots, rocks. So you're out of the saddle.

Yeah, sort of my sit bones I guess. You know the parts that touch right on the edge of the bike seat.
That bursitis does not sound good. I really don't want to have to stop riding. That kind of sounds like what it could be.
