Is it the saddle or me?

Sigh. Now I have pain in the back of my thighs where I sit on the saddle and numbs the back of my legs. Any fixes? And where the chamois seams are located rubs against my inner thigh. Not sure if I can exchange it for something else, but I'm miserable.

Edited:

After this, I do plan on getting a bike fit..waiting for money to come in.

I got a level out and first leveled the rails. Huge improvement. My saddle was not even close to level..if this is the correct method and figured it was a good place to start. I had put the saddle back on after taking off the Selle Italia Diva and didn't really think about it. I despise my seat post set-up for adjusting saddles..but that's another issue. Soft tissue pain isn't so bad and my thighs don't burn so much. Still needs some more fiddling for the soft tissue part though.

Took that off and compared to my Brooks B17 saddle. Did the same thing..huge improvement in fit. B17 rails aren't as long which makes fitting a pain from when I last had my bike fit. No thigh pain on sides or behind but felt like I was sitting on the metal part. The hard leather is actually more comfortable than padding.

So..is there a saddle that doesn't have padding or as much as the Lithia in the Specialized line of saddles?

I'm getting there...LOL. Well, maybe not since the other saddles have bigger rails.
