I use a Aarn Marathon Magic 33 and carry about 22 pounds. All the weight is on my hips and the balance ft to rear is also very good. It is the most comfortable pack I have tried.

If you are interested in an External, check out the LuxuryLite packs. The regular pack with 3 cylinders weighs about 36 ounces; they do have a version that uses Cuben Fiber for the cylinders. It weighs 1 1/2 pounds. The pack transfers ALL the weight to your hips. Not sure if it would meet your needs, but I might be worth checking out.

I too have a couple bad disks but no bone fusion, as of yet. I use a modified GosamerGear Miniposa with a hip belt and large sized waste pockets. This keeps most weight low and fairly well balanced. Near as I can tell, about 5 pounds on my shoulders out of 17 total pack weight. I am also about your age. Just my ha'penny's worth…
