If you're looking to maximize padding, you probably have too much weight on your hands. If you have significant weight on your hands, your position probably needs work.
I have severe arthritis in my left shoulder and the vibration seems to be a culprit in my shoulder discomfort while riding. I am simply doing anything that I can (particularly things that are inexpensive and easy) to reduce that (whether it will be effective or not). And yes I have been to my orthopedic doctor, yes I have had a MRI, yes I have been through the PT route, yes I have been properly fitted to my bike, and so on.
