The issue, again, is lots of wrist angle and consequently lots of pressure on my hands when I'm riding.
I really can't picture a change in stem length by 10mm will make that big of difference with out perhaps changing the stem angle too. A Picture of your current setup will help everyone what you are working with. What is the height of your bar tops compared with your seat height measured from the ground?
