Does anyone know how to fix these problems? I will probably see a doctor sometime soon but am wondering if there's something I'm missing here. Sorry for long post, I've always struggled to explain things efficiently, but all help is appreciated, thanks!
Instead of doing bench press, why don't you try doing an overhead barbell press( AKA military press). An overhead press is a lot more effective at building an all around strength then a bench press. A military press done with a barbell works your entire body from top to bottom, a bench press only isolates few muscles and puts an unnecessary stress on rotator cuff.
