There are still certain shapes that can cause discomfort. So, on those occasions, I try to find a different position to minimize the pain.

Me too. 61 here with arthritis. A big neck allows for better leverage and support during most chord shapes. Also 12 frets bring the 1st position chords closer to the body allowing better movement of these aging joints.
