That could be the issue. I do carry a backpack with about 10-20 lbs on my commute. Started stretching mire and started moving my hands to different positions of the handlebars during my ride which seems to have helped a lot. Also started doing more core exercises. Once I started commuted I kind of stopped all my other exercising I was doing.
