Sound like the Allez was ill fitted, and likely to be the wrong size for you.
Best to pop into a reputable LBS and ask their advice, test ride two different sizes bicycle and see which felt the most comfortable in term of reach (i.e. doesn't feel like you have to hold your head up in order to look ahead, less pressure on hand, etc.).
