If it was me I would rest for 4-6 days and then go back to light weights and patiently increase the weight on the shoulder gradually.

A rest will actually do you good and let the body recover. You seem to have a quality programme which you follow religiously so a break will give your body a good kick when you return.

As you have a break comming up Stu and you would like to continue untill then I would try and avoid any exercise that puts a massive load on that area or just stick to very light weight with reps you can handle say maintain 3x10. Any pain and leave well alone and take the time off, or you could be doing more harm than good.

Keep an eye on the diet while you are off and don't let all that hard work slip away, I would also keep protein at 0.8-1g per pound to maintain muscle but you could cut back on the carbs as you will not be training.
