Yeah, right about the Brooks saddle. It is an old design from the 50s, maybe older. You would think they come up with a better design by now, and they have. I throw it out the window or throw it throw the window of the guy who sold it to you. If they are so good, why aren't people who make a living spending days on their saddles riding them.
Look into Fizik saddles. They have a few comfy saddles for your application. Do not get the tiny skinny butt floss saddles. They wouldn't be too nice to your behind. They are great if you are racing or riding hard, as that takes some weight off your ass from pedaling hard. Try them. Around here, shops have these saddle programs so you can rent and try saddles for an x amount of time before you buy. Bike saddle is a very personal thing.
Adjustment is another thing that can cause pain. Black and blue ass, that shouldn't be. YOur saddle sound like its too high. Lower it by about 1/4" increment and give it a try to see if it gets better. How long have you been on the bike so far? The first 4-5 ride is a pain the ass. Then you get use to the pain.
