I solved the exact same problem by raising my bars to about an inch above the saddle. Because of my stem length, the LBS had to install a stem extender in addition to spacers, but you might not need to go to that extreme. Find someone who can do a good fitting for you and look at this as a possibility.

bike fit issue? i have a new tarmac i am 5'7" and it is a size 52. some days i feel like i am riding with my body leaning on my hands and wearing my shoulders for earrings. we have tilted my seat down for crotch comfort purposes. i feel like i found the sweet spot for the seat, but, maybe we have tilted it down too far? i have the seat that came on the bike. maybe i should get a wsd seat and not tilt it down so far. we also think that maybe i should get a narrower bar too. i guess i am thinking out loud/bouncing ideas off of you guys. my neck is killing me! argh!

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
