<p>For all such things, my advice is to get an opinion from an orthopedic doctor and also an opinion from a good physical therapist.  You may or may not get the same answer from both.  In my case, the doctor was at a teaching hospital and coached a resident through doing a gauntlet of gauntlet of pushing, pulling and poking tests, and they both agreed that PT was the right answer.  YMMV, of course.<p>I had a shoulder injury that was effectively treated by several months of twice-weekly sessions of PT.  This was the embarrassingly difficult sort of PT involving doing exercises with carefully supervised form that looked very, very easy and were almost impossible.  Before this experience, I never knew that half-pound barbells were a thing or that they might be very difficult to lift the way the PT wanted me to lift them.</p>
