yeah as previously mentioned it could be your bars. It could also be your brakes. If the levers are set up horizontal. Get on the bike in attack mode, look down your arms, now try tilting your brakes to that angle.

No matter how good of suspension you have, if you have weak wrists you will feel them get sore for a couple of rides. They should get stronger.

If it turns out to be a big issue (long term), take up boxing, get a powerball etc.

Quit going on so many dates with Pamela Handerson.

And check what Secret Squirrel said. Check the position of your brake levers. Might need to rotate them down a bit.
