Ischial tuberosity bursitis - sit bone pain

I've been experiencing discomfort when I sit for the last several months and it's gotten steadily worse. It literally feels like I'm sitting on hard concrete, even when it's a soft chair. I've been spending way more time sitting over the last two years due to my work and I think this may be partly due to that. Plus I went on a long bike ride at the beginning of the summer and that probably aggravated it. My physical therapist said it sounds like I have ischial tuberosity bursitis. Apparently there are bursa sacs at the bottom of our ischial tuberosity, or sit bones. I know rest is called for with bursitis but it's hard to not sit down at all, plus I haven't found a cushion that helps. It's gotten much worse and the oral steroids I just took didn't help.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
