Ask your doctor...: You should ask your doctor. Having said that, weight lifting put your shoulder at risk of developing premature wear and arthritis. Shoulder is not a weight bearing joint and is not anatomically designed for that purpose. Putting large loads across your shoulder puts you at risk of further cartilage problems with your shoulder.
