Handlebars for my wrists

Hi all. After a year of muddling along, I'm finally trying to fit my bike, a Giant Rove Liv Lite hybrid (thanks, Bike Forums). I had a bit of a revelation on a ride home this week; my usual wrist/hand tingling and numbness was starting up, so I put my hands on top of my flat bars and straightened my wrists. Instantly it all started to go away. So I'm thinking I need swept back handlebars; not a lot, just enough to straighten my wrists, but I have narrow shoulders, so they can't be too wide. Can any of you fine folks recommend some 31.8 handlebars that don't cost an arm and a leg? TIA.
