I have rotator issues with my shooting shoulder (long past due and next on the surgery list)
What is going to make a difference is shooting the HEAVIEST gun you can with the lightest loads. A GAS action, (not inertia), will aid in felt recoil by elongating the recoil pulse over a few more milliseconds. Recoil reducing devices like Bumpbuster, Gracoil, Gsquared, JS, etc. also add weight and extend the pulse.
My 12 is about 8.25# and I shoot soft and slow 7/8 oz loads. The advantage of an O/U is that I can even go down to 3/4oz loads and not worry about whether there is enough OOMPH to work the action for the second shot
