I know that you've said that you've been fit. Evidence suggests that the fit wasn't a very good one. I'd recommend revisiting fit -> adopting a less aggressive position -> and, if all else fails, looking at a 'bent (sorry ).
I do not know if this will be helpful or not. But it is tied for first place WRT cost (of various possible solutions) and by far the easiest to implement. So I am going to give this a try.

Shoulder surgery (full shoulder replacement in my case) vs. a recumbent-type solution. Now there is an interesting decision.
