I'd fix your diet - reducing inflammation there.
Avoid exercises that cause pain in the joint, during and/or after training.
Evaluate (with a professional) your should joint - this is far beyond what I cover here as entire books are written on this topic and address whatever is going on there (cartilage issues, inflexibility., rotator cuff weakness, etc. ,etc, etc...)
During your cruises, you may have to maintain your shoulder joint integrity by doing pre-hab (preventative) exercises there, depending upon what your individual situation demands...

Yeah I understand what you mean.. I know upright rows are a no go for me so avoid at all costs. I kind of fancied testing the water a little by hitting some out of the norm compound exercises (for me anyway) as there is only so much progression one can make by using the same shoulder press machine and side/rear delt variations (5's, straight sets, 21's). Obviously these still seem to be out of bounds which is frustrating as I literally have to use the "one" shoulder press machine for all if not the majority of my loading sets.. I have literally done every variation in the book, single arm, alternate press, palms facing etc etc.. even with all this I still plateau pretty easy here hitting it nearly every week and feel I am missing out on significant shoulder development but I guess it is what it is.
I am seeing a specialist tonight and supplementing with a tonne of curcumin multiple times a day in order to reduce the inflammation.
