Glove padding causing pain?

I picked up a pair of Descente gloves to replace my defective Caporma gloves which i felt lacked in padding (Capo gloves just had some foam). I decided I had to get some gel padded gloves but now I'm getting pain where the gel pads are, as if they're pushing into my hand. Anyone else have this problem, could it be padded gloves aren't for everyone or is this a hallmark of a crappy glove?

Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!

I found the gel-padded PI gloves painful. I think the thicker padding just encouraged me to hold the bars a bit tighter than usual.
I went back to my 3 yr old PI White Line gloves with no padding. No more pain or numbness.
