My Ischial Bursitis is back. I have suffered with this for a few years and it has governed my saddle choice. Earlier this year I was offered a treatment with a series of injections which should have cure the problem. After another examination earlier this month I was told it had worked and I could return to using leather saddles.
Overjoyed at this I purchased four different leather saddles, one for each of my bikes, the idea to break them in and in time find which would now suit me best.
Whilst riding the Brooks B17 Select yesterday I suddenly suffered an excruciating pain under my seat bone with a sensation of something bursting under my skin. Today I have found out the treatment was at best a temporary solution and has now made thing worse than before.
I am off to Scotland next week for a couple of weeks touring so it is back on with my old saddle and hope I can find a comfortable riding position.
Probably putting saddles on sale when I return.
