I doubt an external frame will help your shoulder with loads. A really good pack harness with a waist belt that grips on your hips like a teenage nymphomaniac will make the biggest difference imo. Take the weight off the shoulders and put it on the hips. An internal frame is more comfortable and is better if carrying a shouldered rifle. An external frame is great for tying a deer to it
