What helped for me, and I've mentioned it on another post about elbow pain, was going to a wider bar. My bars were too narrow. Also, the thick gel tape helps. Check your hand position when you are on the top area of the bar where you can brake or change gears (I know there must be some techinical term for that part of the bar but it eludes me). If your hands angle outward at the wrists, even slightly, that may mean your bars are too narrow. You cannot imagine the pain I was in, then to have it fixed by simply chaning bars was nothing short of a miracle for me. I thought I was going to have to give up cycling. Oh, I think we also tweaked the angle of the bars, too.

Don't give up, just keep tweaking! I think it must be a dark secret that the key to cycling to tweaking. At first it will seem that you are always tweaking something. It will all come together eventually...then you'll want a new bike, and get to start all over again!
