Sorry to hear about your issues, but I know where you are coming from. I upgraded to a Martin D28 about 10 months ago. I didn’t realize at the time how big it was. No, I think the world is huge. I have to wrap myself around it to be able to pick and the fretting is also tough. I bought a Taylor GS mini and I swear, I will never buy a full size guitar again. It’s so much easier to fret and strum. I have already talked to a guitar store about trading it in.
In the meantime take some ibuprofen and check out Tony’s exercises. You might find that the strengthening exercises he recommends helps out. Someone posted a cheat sheet for the exercises. I thought I had it but can’t find it. I’m going to put up a post for it and see if that could help you out.
