I had a lot of discomfort in my hands when I started out cycling after being off the bike for years. I couldn't find any gloves that had enough padding so I used a small piece of high density foam and put that in my gloves. It helped the discomfort issue, but the real problem was I had no core muscles and was holding myself up on the bike with my arms. Over time I built muscles and no longer required the foam stuck In the gloves. If your new to cycling it may be a core issue, which you will build those muscles over time. Meanwhile change your hand position often, take short breaks to give the hands a rest, get a bike fitting done just to make sure it's not a fit issue.
