I injured my shoulder one month ago and it is still painful now. Should I get it checked?

Persistent pain usually means a significant problem. Simple strains and sprains rarely last more than 2 to 3 weeks.

The shoulder is a complex joint with many structures within it which can get injured.

If you have pain, and furthermore associated with a catching feeling, weakness, or sharp pains in certain angles, you should get it checked.

I have mild pain in the shoulder. Is it ok to continue with exercise or weights?

While level of pain is one indicator, it is not an accurate indicator.

For example, if the pain is due to a tissue tear, even though it is mild, you will need to reduce the activities.

The most important is first an accurate diagnosis.
