Anyone have experience with shoulder impingement? Should I just back off the lifts that cause immediate discomfort, or do I need to shut down all upper body until it stops hurting?

I already take a NSAID for a knee and I grabbed some PT exercises off the Web.
I'd go see an orthopedic doc first. I've had a very severe shoulder injury in the past. Several surgeries later, and due to some post trauma arthritis, scar tissue, and joint degereration, I have an impingement issue in my right shoulder. Not all impingements are the same. In my case, it will require a clavicle resection procedure, which I had 20 years ago to fix it. Working out the muscles would only irritate it more. Your case may be different, but I'd hate to see you make it worse without a proper diagnosis, which requires x rays.
