Are you tensing up your shoulders, straining your neck or anything like that?
I try to stay as relaxed as possible but, I'm still somewhat of a "newbie" so I could be tensing more than I think I am. And, yes, elbows are usually at somewhat of a bend.

I had my bike fitted when I got it so I don't think it's that. Like I said, it's getting better...it's just my hand that's still a bit weak so I tend to think that I might just have compressed the nerve running into the hand.

One of my fellow cyclists suggested a glove made by Specialized (maybe called Body Glove???) He said that it has extra padding at the outside of the hand where the wrist meets the hand. Anybody out there have a pair of these?
