Out of curiosity, what kind of packs are we taking about here (brand and
model)? If these are internal frame, have you thought about trying an
external? They tend to ride differently (higher, for one) and there is
less contact with the body (as opposed to internals which press against
your back) and often the parts that do touch are flexible mesh, which
might be easier. EMS I think rents external frames, you might try taking
one out for a spin.
Good luck, I hope you get back on the trail soon!
