It is possible, I have a destroyed right rotary cuff, both knees shot, torn right hamstring and i recently rehabilitated right wrist. All mainly due to car accidents.

You can still lift, You just have to know what parts of your body are bad and what their limits are. With shot knees I can only leg press 500, given they were not I could probably do close to 850. Its frustrating but its just something you have to go though. The same could be said for bench press, I used to bench 310 and now I struggle like a champ on 225 due to my right side. You need to start light and continue to stay light until it feels well enough to move up. It took me almost 4 months to get my body to the point where I could go up in bench press and leg press.
