Can the impingement be relieved by a surgical procedure ? Can physical therapy help increase your range of motion in the shoulder without aggravating the impingement? Might help the impingement too. Is there a rotator cuff tear? A lot of questions.
First, stop doing what aggravates it. Use an ice pack on the sore area. Keep your arm moving in as full a range of motion as possible. Shoulders "freeze" up in a couple of weeks if they are not used.
I have to take weeks or several months off periodically to let my shoulder calm down. I aggravate it by playing tennis. I have a lot of aches at 75 but at least my PMR is currently under control.

My PMR pain and stiffness floats around, with the majority in the same areas that you talked about. I have kept records as to what bothers me and the type of execise I did the same day. So far, after almost two years of suffering, I cannot come up with any correlation between the two. At this moment I am on 10mg of prednisone and "very" slowly reducing. Still having pain, but it is manageable.
I exercise frequently (upper and lower body) whenever I feel good and so far the pain does not match up with the type of exercise I have done.
I recently went on a hoilday where I only walked, with no upper body exercises, and for the two weeks I had nothing but chest, shoulder and upper back (rhomboid area) pain.
The upper body pain affects my ability to push and lift items, sneeze and take deep breaths of air.
I can't speak for others as everybody is different.
So far I have tried Acupuncture, Bowen therapy, Physiotherapy, Active Release (with great pain), Massage therapy, and Yoga. Nothing has helped, other than hot showers and sauna time, but only for a short duration.
I am contemplating having a Hyperbaric session as many high level athletes have had this done with seemingly good results. I still need some more investigation though.
Cheers,
Shawn
