It took a few months for my left hand to get back to normal after last year's PBP. I had padded bars without a great deal of drop, but I think the issue was that I favored one position (the drops) too much because I was nervous about the riders around me, and held my wrists with an excessive bend since I always had a finger on the brake levers. The left probably got hit harder because I use the front brake more, and had my right hand off the bars more often to shift.
Since then, I've done some tweaking to my setup to make the top positions more comfortable, with better access to the brake levers, and to ride with straighter wrists when in the drops.
