No! Your bike & saddle should not be uncomfortable.

It sounds like you don't have the right saddle for you. Unfortunately I don't know of any method that allows you to get the right saddle the first time - short of riding with them. Does your LBS have a stash of saddles that they will let you borrow to see if one works for you?
