Code M54. 5 is the diagnosis code used for Low Back Pain (LBP). This is sometimes referred to as lumbago.
S39. 012A - Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of lower back [initial encounter]. ICD-10-CM.
A lumbar strain is an injury to the lower back. This results in damaged tendons and muscles that can spasm and feel sore. The lumbar vertebra make up the section of the spine in your lower back.
Lumbar muscle strain is caused when muscle fibers are abnormally stretched or torn. Lumbar sprain is caused when ligaments (the tough bands of tissue that hold bones together) are torn from their attachments. Both of these can result from a sudden injury or from gradual overuse.
ICD-10-CM Code for Myalgia M79. 1.
Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of abdomen, initial encounter. S39. 011A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Conditions commonly linked to back pain include: Muscle or ligament strain. Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments. If you're in poor physical condition, constant strain on your back can cause painful muscle spasms.
Your spinal disc is at the bottom of your back, so if you have pain in your lower back, you may assume it is a slipped disc. Furthermore, the feeling of pain will differ between the two. Muscle pain will feel like post-workout soreness, while disc pain will feel debilitating and tingly.
Symptoms include:Pain that gets worse when you move, especially when bending or stretching.Difficulty standing up straight.Swelling or bruising in a specific area.Sharp or achy pain, usually limited to the lower back and buttocks area.Spasm-like pain or cramps.
The part of the spine comprised of five vertebral bodies (L1-L5) that extend from the lower thoracic spine (chest) to the sacrum (bottom of the spine).
1 : of, relating to, or constituting the loins or the vertebrae between the thoracic vertebrae and sacrum the lumbar region. 2 : of, relating to, or being the abdominal region lying on either side of the umbilical region and above the corresponding iliac region.
The difference between a sprain and a strain is that a sprain injures the bands of tissue that connect two bones together, while a strain involves an injury to a muscle or to the band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.
