Rotator cuff injury

[millenium girl]

It's not the first shoulder injury that I have but my GP told me that I'd better stop lifting weights for good and focus on cardio training.

Not sure I can do that .... I have been lifting for 30 years.

I can see taking a break for healing, then keeping light for a while, but advising you to stop for good sounds fishy. I'd suggest see a sports doc and take it from there.

Like I said in the shout earlier I got an injection of Prednisone last Friday and I’m still in pain. I’ve had 9 sessions of PT, they didn’t do shit.

 I have been told by my GP to stop lifting. Maybe he’s right

Are you making rotator cuff exercises and stretching part of you regular lifting routine? I find if I don't then issues just com back once 'healed'

Have you spoke to @Physlifter see how he would address it .

This is a solid article for RC repair
Do all band work, very light.  Everything should just be fatiguing or just mildly aching.  Pick 3-4  strength ex's, stretch; do them 2 times daily, 3 sets of up to 10 reps.
