If your neck isn't achy from craning it up to see down the road, then maybe you really want to be stretched out more and should try a longer stem.

It's also possible you might want a shorter stem to let you put more bend in your elbows to help with the muscle strain.

And if the strain is more lower between the shoulder blades, then perhaps narrower handlebars. I went from 42cm wide to 38cm bars to alleviate some pain between my shoulder blades and some elbow pain that felt similar to a shin splint.
