When you don’t need to come to a stop or stop suddenly, try keeping your hands on the top of the bars rather than the hoods. In this way you are sitting more upright and not putting so much pressure on your hands and wrists. Having pain is endemic of too much weight, whether on the hoods or the drops, so try moving your hands to the top of the bars - It cured my hand pain/numbness issues.
