Hello!

I recently started diving, and it is time for me to purchase my first BCD.
I have artritis, chronic shoulder pain on one side, and I am a bit more sensitive to (lower) back pains. I notice that my lower back pain and mainly my shoulder pain get worse after each dive (for a few days).
So my question is: is one type of BCD in this case better for my pains than another type of BCD (for instance: distribution of weight,...)?

Thank you,
Britt
