I pay close attention to that, I've cut out a few things altogether, cut back on weight with others. I had a cortisone shot 6 weeks ago, that really helped but has mostly worn off. The pain is not as bad as it was before the shot though. I can do things now that I couldn't before the shot. Doc says if I want to, I can get another shot a few weeks before the season.
But yes, I let pain be my guide. Shoulder feels great right now, and I did upper body yesterday evening. That's progress.
