I have problems as well with my rotator cuffs and it is definitely painful. And forget about range of motion (ROM).

But, you can lessen the pain and increase your ROM.
There are tons of exercises that you can do, and trust me, it may seem like you are barely moving but keep at it every day. Very slowly, it gets better.
I work with a trainer twice a week and he knows all too well about my limitations, so we are always including a few exercises for my rotator cuffs.
I also do some every day on my own, and it really helps me get through the day.
Here are some links that explain the exercises, and you can find some other sites too.

My wife has got a rotator cuff injury, she did it 3 months ago, after a week got referred to a surgeon, she has had physio every week and exercises to do every day. She has got some range of motion back, but is still in constant pain, they did a scan but nothing has been torn that they could see.
She is now down to have surgery in February to try and get more movement in it. They said it reacted badly to the injury and has frozen up.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
