The best name brands. Excalibur Parker and 10 point I have all 3 and would recommend any of them. My friend has a Horton and it is an excellent crossbow so their top of the line is good. For a starter I would recommend a light weight [physical weight] because of the rotator cuff and depending on how much trouble it gives you maybe consider a crank type ****er, a rope ****er is what most of us use but a crank type may be indicated for your problem the best crank type is made by 10 point and is called the accura draw. They are expensive but if that's what you need the price don't change the facts. other wise the excellent low maintenance Excalibur in on of the light weight models with a 150 or what ever you can handle would be great. Remember the rope ****er cuts the pull weight in half. These of brand Chinese xbows are mostly junk that breaks down has a horrible trigger and you can not get parts for.
