What is Good Luggage for a Bad Shoulder/Arm?

[disneycrazed139]

I didn't know what forum to post this in...it's sort of a general travel question.

I have a bad shoulder and am looking for luggage that will be easy to lug around but that will carry a lot. We are going for 10 days and I like to bring lots of clothing changes and I just tend to pack a lot for emergencies generally.

Anybody have any ideas on luggage that is definitely lightweight and easy to manage maybe with one arm? I am thinking of a lightweight duffel, but maybe there are other pieces that would be good. The suitcase I have weighs a ton without anything even in it, so weight is important. Something easy to maneuver too.

I have looked on ebags, and I just get very confused by all the choices there!

I would think a rolling case would be your best bet--or a softsided suitcase with a very long, sturdy strap that you wear across your body, resting on the "good" (Or better) shoulder.

I recently bought my mom a light-weight, well made roller off of overstock.com.

Good luck in your search!

Definitely one with wheels and a handle that extends so you don't have to bend downward too much.
That's the kind I have since I have RA and the extended handle really makes the difference.

I order from them a lot. Read the descriptions of each product, and the Customer Review--both are very helpful. You can pay for whatever you buy right there, or receive a Bill and pay later. I would suggest a Rolling Duffel, but don't pack a lot in it, this is what makes it heavy. Also, you might want to try LLBean they have a great selection too.
