So don't lift! Some people with some conditions can't lift weights without pain or damage to their bodies. When I would lift weights as part of physical therapy I would use heat on my joints first. Some therapists think it works, some don't. Using a hot rice or corn bag seems to work better than a heating pad.
If you continue to do something that hurts you could cause long-term problems. A friend of mine had a job holding babies several hours a day. She has fibromyalgia and developed shoulder pain. She quit that job and it's a year later and she is still having pain.
