Its both. If you are not used to drops, it will take some time for your body to adjust. In the meantime, if you have an adjustable stem or something try putting that on to see if it helps.

I have rarely used the drops on my bike. I'm mostly on the hoods or tops. Recently i've been contemplating switching over to trekking bars instead.
