I used to travel with a heavy pack: desktop replacement laptop, a tablet, two phones, maybe a portable game console, some books, etc.
I sprained my ankle getting off a bus on a business trip to NYC and did a lot of hopping around on one leg. An injury like that takes maybe six months to heal, experts aren't sure if it ever really heals.
Since then I travel with the laptop and one phone and I'm also aggressive about minimizing what I carry in terms of clothes, toiletries, etc. I live in a rural area where the shopping is awful so if I go to a big city I might buy some clothes and even a bag to put them in. (I used to be a big fan of socks from the Nike store until they discontinued the large size.)
