Adventurers can be left or right handed and it seems to be randomly decided on creation.  You need to have your weapon in your primary hand and your shield in your off-hand, otherwise you will do a lot of useless shield-bashing.

If you have a weapon and a shield, drop both, pick the weapon up first, it will automatically go into your "primary" hand.

Hope that helps.

Unless someone decided to horribly maim your primary hand/arm/shoulder.

Or [d]rop the bear corpse, [r]emove the spear, and if your character is right-handed, everything should be hunky-dory. Of course, if you want to use the spear more effectively, [p]ut the shield away.
