Does it hurt when you actively raise your arm? (muscularture) Or/and does it hurt when you have someone else move it for you (ligaments/joint capsule, etc.)
imo, I would take some time off just to be safe...you don't want to tear anything (like I did my pec b/c I'm an idiot) b/c then you'd be sacrificing the gains you could have made if you would've taken some time off. As for it hurting sometimes when you move your arm a certain way it could possible be a rotator cuff pathology (I'm guessing supraspinatus but don't quote me) but you could possibly see an athletic trainer/sports medicine person about this but they'll most likely have you do what you are doing....rotator cuff exercises, e-stim possibly
when you're doing these I would just start with either light or a theraband if you have any around since it's still a pretty actue injury and progress as the weeks go by like around 3-4 wks depeding on how you feel. What kind of exercises are you doing for your rotator cuffs? Internal/External rotation? or????
Also, since you can't take any anti-inflammatory's the best thing to do would be to ice it to help control the swelling
