Might be worth pushing your saddle back then, if there's enough rail left to do it. Apart from extending the reach (which sounds too short), it will pivot your weight further back over the bottom bracket, and therefore take some weight off your arms. This works especially well if you've got a long body/arms relative to the length of your legs.
If you don't believe me, leave things as they are, ride around a bit, then shuffle back an inch in the saddle and see if you can feel any difference in your arms/hands...
