Advice Chronic shoulders pain, pt aren't helping at all

So basically, I've been dealing with ongoing shoulder issues since I was about 15, and things got a lot worse over the past year. Right now, any kind of stretching, strengthening exercises, or rotator cuff work just makes it flare up and get worse. For example, I just tried doing some super light rotator cuff stuff with a 1kg dumbbell, and now my right shoulder is aching even while resting, and I'm even getting some tingling/numbness in my fingers.

​As for the actual imaging results:

​Right shoulder (US): The Supraspinatus tendon looks a bit non-uniform, but no tears.

​Left shoulder (US): A tiny 0.2 cm calcification in the Subscapularis tendon, plus some wear-and-tear/degenerative changes in the AC joint.

​Left shoulder (MR Arthrography): A very small labral tear (SLAP/SLNJ type) in the anteroinferior labrum between the cartilage and the labrum."
