Satchel vs backpack better for shoulder stain?

[paradisevalley]

I get shoulder pain from carrying heavy bags in one arm (I like a top handle tote or underarm bag). I carry a laptop and some papers as well as other random handbag stuff.

I understand backpacks would be the best, and the times I have used one I haven't had issues. But, they're annoying and a little dorky. They are also annoying to access when worn. They are also annoying to wear on a puffy coat in winter. Would a cross body satchel impact the same strain as an 1 arm bag? Or would it be comparably comfortable as a back pack?

Please help.

Best of both?https://www.cambridgesatchel.com/products/small-portrait-backpack-in-leather-black
