Wrist and disadvantage of changing for short stem but higher?

hi,
the bike steerng with original long stem is good, but my arm is not long enough, my writs aches from overstrentching, could someone tell me if I could replace it with a short stem but with long supporting down tube, so it gets closer to my hand, will there be a side effect on steering or even a danger of driver falling over, because the pivot is brought closer to my center of weight of upper body, when coasting on downslop will there be an increased danger of falling over ahead ?

Thanks,
