Best Cushion for Pain Near Sitbone?

I had been using a great cushion for my pudendal nerve pain, but now that my PT has stabbed me with a needle and I have needle trauma that hasn't been healing, I need a new cushion that will accommodate my new more intense pain at the site of the needle. The pain is just to the inner-side of the sit bone. Anyone have a cushion that avoids pressure at that site?

I have pain in the same spot, I believe the PN travels right there. I use the twin cheeks extra firm and try to position the tender places over the opening so they are not kind of suspended off the seat/cushion. Hopefully your pain in the new area is temporary.

Thanks Stephanies,

I thought of that but wasn't sure. I have their soft one. I might try the extra firm one.

I first bought the softer one but it wasn't keeping the painful area suspended from the seat. Then I tried the extra firm and it is much better.

I just saw it's $95...ugh!! If that were the only cushion I've bought it wouldn't be a big deal, but I've already purchased at least 10 - 15 different cushions at an average of $100 or more each. I'm going to try to cut up a cushion I already have to see if that will work first.

Of anyone has either a firm or extra firm twin cheeks cushion that didn't work for their pain, let me know. I may buy it from you at a price we agree on. It doesn't look like there are different sizes - for some reason I thought there were different sizes. For reference I have very narrow hips in case they used to be sizes.
