Stems come in "different" lengths and degrees, your OEM/stock stem might be a 10 to 25 degree, you might want to look into a new stem, say in the 30 to 40 degree to "raise" the bar up and look at different lengths, to bring the bar closer to you. Say your stem is a 120mm length, if you went to a 105 or 90mm, that would bring the bars back towards you for "less strech" and go with a 30 to 40 degree to bring the bars UP, FYI, YMMV.
