I experience the least amount of pain in my wrists when using 0 back sweep bars.
Upsweep and 0 backsweep will cause your wrists to hurt. 0 Backsweep is by far the worst feel, and idea for a set of handlebars.

There is a reason why every other kind of bicycle has backsweep on the handlebars.However, I don't doubt that, once someone is already used to zero, some backsweep will lead to wrist pain.

Upon installing bars with upsweep, pain began in my wrists almost immediately.
I had some ares APLUS low and the specs were ok at the moment , Up Sweep 0 ° and 3 back... I was riding 19.5 frame in that moment and 49mm stem w zero offset fork, very fast setup with those bars, no problem with my wrist, Have you tried wider grips, that helps to improve grip and stability (to me) .
