Almost everyone I know has dealt with it at one time or another. I'm currently riding 600 miles a month, and starting in November I'll be up in the neighborhood of 1,000 miles a month, with December being close to 1,500 miles... Before October, I had a few 25 hour weeks and I had no problems. When I first started riding, my hands would go numb all the time, but that isn't the issue. I did 200 miles this last Saturday (and distance isn't really my bag, either) and by the end had slight numbness in my right wrist, but nothing major.
So get fitted and try new bars, BUT,
don't get discouraged. You may find that the problem disappears as suddenly as it came.
