Is it possible that my seat height is not correct. I do seem to put a lot of weight forward on my hands, but for my legs and pedals, I'm at a good height.

What about your neck - it is tense, or are your shoulders tense? Maybe do some yoga/stretching back exercises? I get pins and needles when I am cycling and I know I tense my shoulders (my commute is a battle between me and the other cars!)
