A member asked:

Is it ok to still work out arms if the right rotator cuff is hurting? this morning i used a lesser weight on my right while normal on the other side

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Using light weight and higher reps should cause no problems. Avoid doing overhead lifting with a barbell ( military press ), or anything that causes sever pain.
