A 64-year-old female asked:

If one has pain on the outer side of arm midway between elbow and top of shoulder when serving in tennis, can this be related to a rotator cuff injury or just a muscle strain?

This is difficult to tell without an examination. If symptoms have been ongoing for more than a couple weeks, consider getting seen in person for a full history & exam.
