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.

Start doing rotator cuff work, scapular retractions, Y-W-T-L's and band pull-aparts now. Impingement is usually caused from lack of rear delt/rotator work.

should get you started.
If you feel the need to continue pressing exercises, switch to dumbells, use a nuetral grip with elbows tucked to side.
