I will look into all y'alls recommendations.
Thank You.
I have fought the same issue for a few years; mostly tingling in the fingers and then having them fall asleep to the point of not being able to shift. I do have carpal tunnel, but my orthopaedic surgeon says I'd have to stay off the bike for 6-8 weeks, which is a non starter. So, I've done a few things and the problem is largely solved.
1. Very soft handgrips (A set of grip puppies over ESI Extra Chunky Grips)

2. Had a professional bike fit done which resulted in taking pressure off my wrists.
3. Installed a set of SQL Bar Ends to rest my thumbs on when able changing the weight and angle on my wrists.

I do have a tubing bender and have thought about bending my handlebars, but I'm concerned about bending aluminum of an unknown alloy, and the above has worked.
Good luck!
