I know that every year (since I don't ride in winter) my ass (sit bones) flat out hurt for a while. After a few rides , I'm good. I ride B-17 specials. About the sensitive bits...they do get sensitive from time to time whether I'm wearing lycra (for longer rides) or FOTL cotton under cargo shorts for work. I haven't successfully figured that out; I find lycra (pearl izumi ) stitching can bug me as can standard cotton underwear....geez, seamless would be best. Maybe we're just sensitive, poetic souls :) I wonder what the other ladies can suggest. As for your saddle, maybe it's lost a bit of tension...it sounds like something may have altered there.
By the way, I'm so glad your surgery worked out and you are riding your Betty again!
