I've had a bunch of shoulder issues. Other than rest, the three exercises that helped me the most is reverse grip benching, face pulls, and hand walks with a resistance band handcuff.

Reverse grip bench is the only exercise that you can really load up on weight and strengthen your shoulders without hurting them.

Google face pulls and you will get a video how to do them.

The hand walks, you take a resistance band and hand cuff yourself. Then against a wall, "walk" your hands up and down the wall for 30 second intervals with the band at full tension.

Don't know if any of that will help but that's what I do when my shoulder acts up. I like Tom's remedy: take days off for vacation, workout shoulders until pain comes back, take days off for vacation.
