I'm experiencing moderate tenderness in my right shoulder from weight lifting. There's clicking and what feels like tendon snapping but no severe or deep pain. Still, I know this is a sign that things could get much worse. What is the right strategy from here on out?

On the Waterfront, Edie's pop says to her, "See this arm? It's two inches longer'n the other one. That's years of workin' and sweatin', liftin' and swingin' a hook. And every time I heisted a box or a coffee bag I says to myself--this is for Edie, so she can be a teacher or somethin' decent." Can a lifetime of labor really do that to your arm?
