Tea_Bee, you should look in some saddlebag to removed some of the weight off your back.
Look at those Carradice saddlebag and the bagman adaptor that kept it stablised while riding, it's a good option.
The biggest problem I found with wide saddle is that my thigh rubbed against the side which does get a bit annoying, I found the Rolls shape to be perfect but the narrow width doesn't help.
I have the Rolls on my road bike, but I only ride this with a padded shorts as that took a lots of pain away, not 100% pain-free but a lots less unbearable.
