ICD-10 code R52 for Pain, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Listen to pronunciation. (my-AL-juh) Pain in a muscle or group of muscles.
Myalgia describes muscle aches and pain, which can involve ligaments, tendons and fascia, the soft tissues that connect muscles, bones and organs.
Acute fever (or 'acute febrile syndrome', a rapid onset of fever and symptoms such as headache, chills or muscle and joint pains) is common in the tropics and sub-tropics. Frequently, such fevers resolve without treatment, but fever may also herald the onset of severe, potentially fatal illness.
Definitions: Acute febrile illness was defined as a patient with fever of 38°C or higher at presentation to ED or history of fever that persisted for 2–7 days with no localizing source.
R53. 81: “R” codes are the family of codes related to "Symptoms, signs and other abnormal findings" - a bit of a catch-all category for "conditions not otherwise specified". R53. 81 is defined as chronic debility not specific to another diagnosis.
The ICD-10-CM Index indicates that pain NOS is reported with code R52 (Pain, unspecified).
ICD-10 | Other chronic pain (G89. 29)
The fever of unknown origin is coded with the codes under the category- R50. This category also includes – persistent fever, fever with chills and rigor. The most common underlying causes of fever are infections. In the ICD-10 manual alphabetic index the following infections are classified under fever-.
Fever. Fever, medically known as pyrexia is a condition or a symptom that arises due to a temporary increase in body temperature above the normal. The normal body temperature falls between 97 F to 99 F, 98.6 F being the average and it is controlled by the “thermostat” of our body, the Hypothalamus.
Increase in body temperature can be caused by a virus, a bacterial infection, heat exhaustion, malignant tumors, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain immunizations and some medications.
M60.-) (my-al-juh) pain in a muscle or group of muscles. A chronic disorder of unknown etiology characterized by pain, stiffness, and tenderness in the muscles of neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, and legs. Other signs and symptoms include headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and painful menstruation.

Symptoms include body aches, chills, fever, severe headache, weakness, and a yellow skin color. Bleeding, vomiting, and failure of the liver and other organs may occur in late stages of the disease. A viral infection caused by a flavivirus called yellow fever virus. It is transmitted to humans from infected mosquitoes.

Acute infectious disease primarily of the tropics, caused by a flavivirus and transmitted to humans by mosquito vectors. An acute infectious disease primarily of the tropics, caused by a virus and transmitted to man by mosquitoes of the genera aedes and haemagogus.

Some signs and symptoms are classified in the body system chapters. Before assigning a code from Chapter 18, the medical record must be reviewed to determine if the symptom or sign relates to a more specific diagnosis that is documented in the medical record, and the alphabetic index must be referenced to determine whether ...
This article covers only two factors to be considered when reporting codes from Chapter 18 – whether or not the signs and symptoms routinely are associated with a documented definitive diagnosis, and whether the sign or symptom should be reported with a code from one of the body system chapters. However, prior to assigning codes for symptoms, signs, and abnormal findings, all guidelines should be reviewed. Guidelines related to symptoms, signs and abnormal findings are found in a number of sections, including the General Coding Guidelines (Section I.B.4,5,and 6), the Chapter-Specific Guidelines (Section I.C.18), Selection of Principal Diagnosis (Section II.A), Reporting Additional Diagnosis (Section III.B), and Diagnostic Coding and Reporting Guidelines for Outpatient Services (Section IV.D and P). Taking time to review the guidelines, along with the notes at the beginning of Chapter 18 and coding instructions listed at the category, subcategory, and code levels, should ensure that the correct sign, symptom, or abnormal finding code is assigned.
Category O28, Abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother, contains codes for the general type of abnormal finding . Laboratory abnormal findings include hematological (O28.0), biochemical (O28.1), and cytological (O28.2) findings. Radiological abnormal findings include ultrasonic (O28.3) and other radiological studies (O28.4). There is also a code for abnormal chromosomal and genetic findings (O28.5), as well as codes for other abnormal findings (O28.8) and unspecified abnormal findings (O28.9). During pregnancy, abnormal findings would be reported with codes in Category O28 instead of codes from Chapter 18.
