I once had problems with my shoulder hurting and even my arm going numb from a bag being carried on my shoulder and my arm sticking out like a chicken wing. After a period of time I found the major problem was rolled handles. Apparently they dug into my shoulder and pinched on nerves there. No more rolled handle bags unless they also come with a decent strap. The slightly more minor problem of having a bag stuck in my armpit causing my arm to stick out and causing the 'pins and needle' pain I solved too. I only use bags with long enough straps so my arm doesn't poke out. (Duh! Lol!) If necessary I have bought a different strap to go with a bag I really wanted to keep. So far weight hasn't been much of a problem......yet.I'm glad you don't have shoulder pain issues. Enjoy all the beautiful bags lucky gal!
