I need recommendations for a carry strap that will take the fatigue off of my back when carrying and using camera with heavy lens.
Any help will be appreciated.

Moving it to your belt makes SO much difference. I agree with @urbanfreestyle, except i use a spiderholster (the pro version, not the black widow) for a pair of 1DX with 24/70 and 70/200 My Best Imageswww.echo63.deviantart.com

Best way to stop sore shoulders is to get the weight off them though (second best is more use, getting them used to the load, but that wesrs your body out too) +1 Facebook

I dont use a tripod enough for it to be an issue - the 70-200 wears an RC2 plate full time, and i keep a spare in my bag to put on whichever body i need. My Best Imageswww.echo63.deviantart.com

Or in my case, the Canon CPS strap fitted with the sling strap adapter. Sits on my left shoulder, with the strap across my body and the camera hanging at my right hip.

Looking at adding the spider arca plate to both bodies and upgrading to an arca system though.... If you have a 494/496/498RC2, you can convert it to Arca Swiss Canon :: R5 | R6 | RP

I use their Leash strap to carry a 7DII + 100-400 MkII all day long and it doesn't bother me in the slightest; plus, being able to go directly onto a tripod or into the shoulder clip without having to unscrew anything is priceless. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife
