Answer 1

Does your doctor know you are back to lifting weights again?  Did he put any restrictions on you about lifting & straining?   Did he give you a series of doorknob exercises to do to strengthen you rotator cuff?  Did he have to give you a cortisone shot to ease the pain to begin with?  I'm afraid you may re-injure your rotator cuff if you don't go back to the doctor & ask his advice on how to proceed with your exercising.  Maybe next time it will mean surgery.  Proceed with caution.
