Shoulder Pain

Currently I have shoulder pain whenever I raise my right arm, arms bent, above shoulder height. It feels sore, however it is not unbearable by any means. Sometimes I can raise my shoulder above shoulder height without any problems at all. The pain is also there when I put my arms bent out at 90 degrees at shoulder height and rotate my forearm forward and backwards. Occasionally there will be crackling sounds. I have asked my physiotherapist and he thinks it is shoulder impingement and indicated that I should be doing rotator cuff exercises. I injured my shoulder roughly 4 weeks ago, continued to work out bench press, shoulder press etc. until about 2 weeks ago where I decided to let my shoulder rest in order for it to heal up. I injured my shoulder doing incline dumbbell flies in the gym, where I heard crack in my shoulder at the time but no pain. Any advice on what to do is appreciated!

I would recommend seeing an

I would recommend seeing an orthopedic about this. Could be an impingement, but could also be a torn rotator cuff.

Wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.
