Good job you suggested that, I was going to waste my time doing some of the exercieses people had suggested with actual results which may help the problem, not put it off!
Also: you can get most of the benefits of that comfort-fit road bike by fitting that shorter and higher stem that I mentioned. In the UK I'd suggest that you buy a Cammish flippable TT stem - flipped in the up position these give a 55 degree angle. The reduction in reach and back stress is considerable, you can fit one in a couple of minutes with an allen key, and they cost only $50, compared to, say, $2000 for a comfort fit Trek Madone...
