Some keys to overcomming tendon/ligament injuries.....
All cells die and are replaced and different cell types die at different rates. First and foremost the tissue that makes up tendons/ligaments has a 300 to 500 day turnover rate so keep that in mind when you are thinking about how long it will take to heal.
Next, do some googling on the "healing cascade" and see what it tells you. If you find a good article on it you will see the various healing phases and how inflammation plays a key role in the healing cascade.
Whats the first thing people do when they get an injury? Pop a bunch of nsaids and eliminate the inflammation and with it all the benefits it brings. Then since they feel better cause the inflammation is gone the hit the weights again and further damage the injured tissue, more nsaids, rinse and repeat until they finally break down and have some surgeon go in and clean out the debris causing further laxity in the joint which just promotes future injury and the cycle continues or ends up arthritic.
You need to ease off on the weight ya move but continue activity. The added blood flow gets nutrients to and damaged tissue away from injury.
Consume the raw building blocks so your body has the materials to repair the damage.
Stay away from ice and anti-inflammatories since they reduce blood flow and healing, if you work out and an old injury is nagging you then you chose a bad movement or worked out too hard.
If you want to greatly speed healing find a porolotherapy doc near you and get started with treatments. Google prolotherapy for all sorts of articles.

its all guessing until a doctor checks you out. I can say that my partner is a big, beefy guy and he's got tight rotator cuff muscles...like too tight, not just a good stable joint. I stretch him and it seems to help. If you see an orth then a PT for as little as a one time crash course in what to do and what not to do, you'd probably feel a lot better.
I'm with CheapPinz here. Having had shoulder surgery about 5 years ago for symptoms that mirrored yours, I can honestly say that it took the pain away and I can train that shoulder just as hard as ever. It took over a year to get back to full strength after the surgery, but it's not hurt me since, and well worth the recovery and PT time. See an Ortho if you have health insurance. He may have you do an MRI, which will really help diagnose your specific issue. As CP said, otherwise it's all just guess work. Let the pros help you with the tools of modern medicine.
I can say that lots of stretching and warming up before begining the workout helped me immensely. The excercises suggested by a physical therapist sure as hell don't win you any man credit in the gym but who cares anyway, its my shoulder. Staying with barbells reduced the pain during the lifts and still allowed for a good workout too.
Good luck and I hope you have health insurance, medical bills can add up quick.

I've been having a similar problem only it's with my left clavicle. I broke it and 3 different doctors kept telling me nothing was wrong (They were looking at r. cuff and wouldn't listen to me) Left shoulder is noticeably weaker and fails before my right. My hand also goes numb every now and again. I even did physical therapy for a few weeks and know the little exercises that centy mentioned. Seems like a fight I will never win. It's been over 2 years now and I still get pain although it's mainly when I use dbells. It's not going to stop me but it sure does piss me off when my left arm gives out when my right could keep going strong. I'd like to say its getting better but who really knows.
