^^^^Yeah, pushups can be very good for the shoulders in some ways. It especially helps with keeping scapular movers healthy in particular the serratus anterior.

Another thing people can do is of course switch to dumbells when the shoudlers are acting up. Some of the problem can be the straight bar and being forced into a non-neutral grip.

You can also switch up to board presses as the change to a lesser ROM can really give the shoulders a break. It all depends on the person, of course. I've personally found floor presses, however, to bother my shoulders.

Lots of other things you can do.

Some people swear by chaning the angle. I think it's good in general but I don't think it will save your shoulders if they are giving you problems.
