That sounds like what I've been going through all year. I push through the pain when benching, in fact, it's come to the point that I actually think I push harder with the bad shoulder. Probably from almost a year of compensating for the weakness. When it "acts up", I go through exactly what you are going through, sort of a dull ache that turns sharp when I move behind my back or a shrugging movement. I can say that after doing good stretches and rotator cuff exercises, it has become much better. I think I'll be living with it forever though to some degree.
