Maybe give the On One OG bar a try? Lots of sweep, but not as extreme as the Mary.
Personally, I've found that wider bars put more load on my shoulders, whereas narrower ones focus it more on my elbows. So perhaps avoid anything under 700mm.
Making sure the bars are in the correct place is the most important thing imo, so experiment with stem height & reach. I tend to ride fairly upright, so that my hands are gently resting on the bars. There's no way I'd be riding a rigid fork otherwise.

Suggestions please from the hive mind.
After a year out with a fuxxored elbow I'm gearing up to start riding again. In the meantime, I have gone down the interwebz rabbit hole of impact of bar shape on physiology. I'd like to try something with more sweep.
I have Mary bars but I didn't get on with them for road riding. I like the look of the Fleegles but they are on closeout so all they have left are white and 25.4 clamp.
What's not a bank breaking alternative to Fleegles?
