We're a little off topic, but I appreciate your advice! I've been to a PT, and that helped some, but I need more! Believe me, I put stress on everything (it feels like). A few years ago, I had no problems, but age creeps up apparently!
I know it's off topic (apologies to all), but age is not the explanation for your issues. I know because I'm 80 and I do aided pull ups, cable rows, pushups using Perfect Pushup handles, and seated machine chest presses and I do not experience what is happening to you even though I have osteoarthritis in every joint. My career was college teaching, but after I retired at 65 I became a certified personal trainer, so I know something about progressive resistance exercise, although a physical therapist knows a lot more. You have to find the right therapist and go to them until you're better.
