The way I got relief from shoulder and neck issues is by changing my on bike position, including riser type stems with shorter reach, and either shallow drop bars, like Ritchey Beacon bar. And/or, something like the Soma Porteur bar. The closest I have to more traditional drops is a Pro LT Gravel bar, 103 drop and 65 reach with only 5 degrees of flare. That is set up so the top of the bar is slightly above the saddle height. Those changes have also taken a lot of stress off my arthritic thumbs. I cannot do low and long any more. I prefer non-padded, long finger gloves, and tape with a bit of cushioning, not real thick. Too much padding causes numbness in my hands.
