I'm only an EMT, so you know WAY more than me medically, but I have been lifting for a while.
If I read what you put down right it looks like you are doing lighter weights and going for more reps? On suggestion might be to try and alternate between heavy and light days.
Ex. the first week, continue your program as you described. the following week, shoot for a weight that will get you to exhaustion in 7-10 reps with 3 sets, and only do 3-4 exercises per muscle group. For that week do all your exercises with a weight like that. This will work not only your muscle endurance, but also strength when you do the heavier weights. It will also provide more variety to your workout so your body doesn't become used to what you're doing as quickly.
Another option might be to try "push/pull" days. One day do all the "pushing" exercises you can think of (bench press, tri pushdowns, dips, etc.), the next day do all the "pulling" ones (curls, pullups, rows). This is a pretty common program among power lifters as it can quickly build strength.
Again, medically... your light years ahead of me, but trying to mix up your training a little bit might keep that stuff from happening. Also, are you doing cardio everyday? I would run no more than 3 times a week, and if it was a cardio day, I would take it easier on the weights. That way you aren't working yourself to complete exhaustion and you have enough time to recover and grow.
Not an expert, but hope it helps.
