The first question is "pain where?" It could be
a million things relating to saddle position and
saddle type.

And saddle height. It can be a girl thing as well.

A lot of times, the tractor-seat saddles make things
worse and not better.

Some people think they are comfortable because of the
way they look, or possibly the way the alternatives
look. But IMO they aren't comfortable at all.

Suspension isn't the solution

I suppose it could be theoretically but saddle height
and type are the first things to get right.
