Have I really injured my rotator cuff?

[ProNocturnal]

Okay so I've been working out and eating properly for about 3 months now, after 2 years of not really taking my routine seriously and having on-off periods at the gym. I'm going off to Uni in September and want to start with optimal physique. So far stuffs going well. Last night I was hitting my legs and shoulders. After front squats I went straight into DB overheads and decided to start with a new highest weight (55lbs) for 3 sets of 7. Halfway through my second set I felt a brief pain and uncomfortable feeling in my right shoulder, which affected my form, but I carried on and finished my 3 sets. After this happened, lateral raises were the only other exercise that caused any pain, so I thought it was just a little pull, as I've experienced similar pain in the past, but only for a few seconds between exercises.

The next day at home, I tried some basic movements to assess the damage. Press ups = easy with pretty much no pain/ Lateral raises = easy but with slight tightness and pain. I can also touch my back pretty easily. However, Overhead presses with low ass weight = HOLLLLYYY FUARRRRKKKKK THATS PAINFUL. In fact, its pretty much impossible to complete one rep.

I have 4 months till Uni and I need that time to develop, with my chest and back being my priority. Does the fact I can complete push ups with no shoulder pain mean I have avoided a debilitating shoulder injury, which could have me out for months? Or does the fact I cannot even complete an overhead press mean I need to consult a physician and come to terms with cutting out Upper-body?

Stop doing overhead presses and the flat barbell bench. Train your back hard, and train your chest with dumbbells. End of story.

stop overhead and lateral movements right now, you need to give your shoulder a rest for a while until the pain goes away, take anti-inflammatories and ice it... once the pain is gone, check if your RC muscle is weak, you can test out by doing internal/externation rotations, if the exercises is very difficult with low weight (but not painful) then you should do some RC strengthening routine

Op can you do arnold presses? It sounds a lot like what I 've got right now only I didn't develop it during an exercise. It is painful when doing overhead presses but I can do arnold presses. Staying out didn't help at all and I tried more than a month.
