You can chase comfort issues with parts fixes all day long, but Ducati's are essentially mild versions of race bikes (as are most sport bikes), and you have to ride it like a race bike for it to be comfortable.
Try to sit back in the seat, flex in the middle of your back, not at the waist, to lean over so your arms are bent at the elbows and your forearms are parrallel to the road as you grasp the grips. Your arms should be completely relaxed and not supporting the weight of your body at all. Now raise your weight slightly out of the seat with your legs. This is the proper position for riding. Your arms and butt will not hurt, but its helps to bicycle or do leg presses to strengthen the legs.
Changing out things like bars and seats is just a futile, in my humble opinion, attempt to change your bike into something it was not designed to be.
