I had the same problem till I got Dedo women-specific handle bars for my road bike. I also like the Pearl Izumi Gell gloves, they're the only glove I've found small enough to fit my hands. A slightly more upright position (adjusting the saddle and or stem) will take more weight off your hands.

Sounds like time to visit the bike shop ;-)
