Been there and done that. 😕 Thankfully it got better with time and rehab. Never really figured out how to shift the saddle to make it feel better but doing more stretching and back exercises really helped. Google "back rehab exercises and stretches" and you’ll probably find the same 10 stretches/exercises on most sites. Take it easy no matter what. Unfortunately it takes strengthening the muscles AND time to allow the swelling to die down. Bouncing up and down on a saddle over rough ground isn’t the best idea so be careful. It got to the point that I could feel my feet tingling from sciatic pressure and I pretty much had to lay off the mountain rides for a couple of weeks. The stationary bike and road bike weren’t as bad to me. Not nearly as fun, but at least it kept me pedaling.

Thanks man, yea I have stretches that I try to do daily to build the area up around the disk. But being one the saddle I guess I just need to experiment to see what works and feeling better when riding.
What do you think about the position and the height of the saddle?
thanks
