Have you tried any different bar sweeps? I've found in my experience - and feedback from other riders - that a 12° or 16° bar - depending on the bike/position - is the best thing for my wrists and forearms.
I've had great experiences with [**SQLab 30X**](https://nsmb.com/articles/defying-convention-sqlab-12%C2%BA-and-16%C2%BA-sweep-bars/) bars, the Fasst bar I run is 12° rather than 8°, and I hope more companies will get on board in the future. It's not to say that 7°, 8°, or 9° bars don't work best for some riders - maybe even most riders - but there are endless options with those standard backsweeps.
