No wan*ing jokes please
The obvious solution is not to SWEAR at your wrists (spelling).

On a serious note, the only remedies I can suggest is to hold the tank
tight with your knees and to take off the pressure from your wrists
by using your back (if you don't suffer from back problems). Say,
for the last few months I have been suffering from a shoulder injury
(tennis) which often gets so bad that I can't operate the TV remote
(tragedy!) but it does not stop me from riding my bike.

On the other hand if your problem is due to the twisting of the throttle
(which it probably is) then I don't really see what can be done. Maybe you
could find a garage that would switch the clutch and throttle?
