Overcoming Shoulder Pain

I have had some serious shoulder pain for the past two weeks. I have had a lot of clicking and pulling for over a year, but it really started hurting a lot recently. I was researching rotator cuff injuries, but I think something is just legitimately inflamed. I warmed up a lot before my WOD and it felt fine and my shoulder still feels good and its 630 at night.

Cleans:
95 x 5, 135 x 5, 145 x 3, 155 x 2, 165 x2, 175 x 1, 185 x 3, 205 (f), 205 (Huge PR)

Front Squats:
135 x 2 x 5, 185 x 3, 205 x 5 x 3 (they went up slow, but didn't feel hard)

Press:
115 x 3 x 5, 120 x 5, 125 x 5, 130 x 5, 135 x 3 (pr), 140 x 2 x 2 (pr)

6 rounds:
10 dead hang pull ups
20 pushups

I was driving to the gym today listening to my most favorite song in the world (bagpipes Goin' Home) and I saw in the distance a hearse driving slowly in the right lane. I had a feeling immediately that it was a military personnel. I sped up to see and in the back laid some brave individual that gave their all serving the greatest country on earth. The flag was respectfully draped over the coffin. I felt extreme gratitude for that individual's service, sorrow for that person's family, but I was also so sad that I am not apart of that brotherhood that I so badly want to be apart of.

God Bless the Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, and Marines that serve every day.
