Some of you may have read this on another forum, so please accept my apolgogies.
I am not well versed in the area of cycling saddles - both road and mountain, so I need the help of anyone who might be able to help.
My wife broke her hip two years ago running a marathon. Due to a metabolic problem, her hip broke at mile seven. Nineteen miles later, she finished. Her hip would not heal. Now two years later, she finally was told the break is healed. Running is out of the question for quite a while, but was given the o.k. to bike.
Here is where I need help. The break was of the pubic bone. For those of you who may not know what bone that is, it is the one that the thin potion of a cycling seat makes contact with in the genital region. Does anyone know of any special seats that may provide the padding she will need to help protect the bone as it is a little sensitive at times? I am willing to go with a company that customizes seats it that is all that is available. My main concern is that I can get something that will allow her to be active again without having to deal with the pain a standard seat will give her at times.
Recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.
