I'll back up this suggestion. If you're hunched over with handlebars a lot lower than your seat and using TT bars trying to look uber-cool like is shown in bicycle advertisements and televised pro bicycle races, its time to just say no and go with other options. Try things such as higher handlebars position (maybe even flat bars), shorter crank arms, a shorter stem, different saddle position (or a completely different saddle shape). A bike fit might work depending if you meet the fitter's requirements (clipless pedals & shoes, drop handlebars, etc.).
