Regina, at 41cm you should be just fine on a 42cm bar. You mention your symptoms are on one side only? Just curious, but which side? And are you left-handed or right-handed? And do you mouse a lot?

I suspect my issue is multi-faceted. Mouse + bike + ? = ouch. I do add bike to that, as the pain caused by riding is undeniable. But it may be secondary to what actually started it.
I've replaced my home p.c. mouse with a trackball and have asked my boss to do the same for me at work (but we're under a CR now, so who knows if they'll fork up the $$ for one at this point). Once I get the irritation and inflammation under control, I think I should be all set.
