Rotator Cuff Strain

Many of you already know that I have been dealing with a shoulder injury for the last month. It gets better and then it gets worse. The worse seems to come after I do something foolish like pulling myself out of the pool without the ladder or picking up my youngest daughter with extended arms. My question is this, is exercise that causes me no pain okay for the recovery of my shoulder; ie swimming? I ask this because I have been swimming more regularly now and my shoulder seems to feel better afterwards, except for last night when I pulled myself out of the pool. Immediately I felt the strain/pain and knew I just set myself back again. It seems like I will never get past this injury.
