After a few rides I've realised that the backsweep on my bars just isn't big enough and i get pinching between the joint of my thumb and my wrist.
Are there any handlebar grips that add a bit of thickness as they go out (taper towards the stem) that would add a bit of effective sweep?
Try riding really hard between a couple of narrow trees 😉

Ergon grips do in various levels. Ge1 might be best, but they are £30 so unless the bar is super uber posh then swapping it out is probably a better choice. Ppresuming of course you have tried rolling it back a little first to increase backsweep in preference to upsweep.
Your best bet is to try a [url= http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/home ]Ergon [/url] grips. They do a variety of shapes. Some give you an artificial sweep which may help.
Edit: Slow fingers. I'd also opt for a new set of bars. Stooge Moto and cut down?
There are some ESI grips that have a bit of taper in them.
Standard ESI come in Extra chunky, chunky and racer's edge
"FIT CR" or "FIT XC" are blends - Cunky and racers edge, or XtraC/Chunky
Wider on the outboard side.
