Suggest Remedy For Discomfort In Left Shoulder While Lifting Weights

I am 75 years old and enjoyed lifting weights for years. For the past nine months I have experience great discomfort in the area of my left shoulder....anterior view. Painful lateral movements are causing me to reduce the weights of my lifts of curls, lateral raises, bench presses, military presses, and push ups. I have tried resting for weeks with no relief......I ve used ice, and heat along with the rest. Yet the pain persists.......of course this is frustrating and wonder what type of specialist I should turn to for information to address this issue.
