What Causes Pain In The Right Arm?

Yes I am experiencing pain in my right arm between my elbow and shoulder...to the back of the arm if you are moving down from the shoulder. I play tennis and though it did not hurt while I played, it aches every so often and especially in the middle of the night. However, today I played an hit a ball a bit behind me (overhead) and it really hurt. When I move it a specifc way ...it sometimes feels like it is slipping or clicking as I move it. Thoughts?

hi. thanks for posting on hcm.
from your symptoms i suspect it to be some muscle tear or tendon injury in the shoulder joint because of impingement, to know which muscle or tendon affected some physical examination to be done, i therefore advise you to consult a doctor to confirm.
