You need to get the weight off your hands. There is no reason in the world why you'd have to suffer so much after 4 miles.
Maybe your bike is simply too large, but maybe there is hope:
Maybe an upright-position handlebar like this
Wiill keep you from leaning on your wrists?.
EDIT: I was being dumb when I wrote this. Look how a bar like this would allow you to grip much closer (see where it's mounted to the stem?). You can even tilt it inward/up to get even more upright.
Then again Clock's version would be the budget method to get a similar result.
As always, Photos of you on your bike would help judging the situation.
