This may be difficult because MPS is a chronic pain condition and pain is subjective; only you know how severe your pain is. While it may be disabling, myofascial pain syndrome is not listed as an impairment in Social Security’s Blue Book and qualifying for disability can be tricky.
ICD-10-CM Code for Myalgia M79. 1.
Cervical myofascial pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that causes pain in the area of a muscle in the body and its surrounding connective tissue. Proper diagnosis can lead to effective treatment for the patient.
Code M54. 2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain).
Overview. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder. In this condition, pressure on sensitive points in your muscles (trigger points) causes pain in the muscle and sometimes in seemingly unrelated parts of your body. This is called referred pain.
Myofascial pain syndrome involves mainly muscular pain; whereas, fibromyalgia includes more widespread body pain, along with other symptoms, such as headaches, bowel problems, fatigue and mood changes.
Where does myofascial pain syndrome most commonly occur? Myofascial pain and trigger points can develop in any muscle in the body. However, the most commonly affected muscles are those in the upper back, shoulder and neck.
Neck pain is pain in or around the spine beneath your head, known as the cervical spine. Neck pain is a common symptom of many different injuries and medical conditions. You might have axial neck pain (felt mostly in the neck) or radicular neck pain (pain shoots into other areas such as the shoulders or arms).
M54. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

Myofascial pain syndrome may also be associated with diseases or disorders of the fascia, which include connective tissue disorder. Conditions in which the immune system attacks body tissues such as fascia (i.e. autoimmune disorders) may also play a role in myofascial pain syndrome.
Background. Myofascial pain is a common dysfunction with a lifetime prevalence affecting up to 85% of the general population.
How Do You Get a Trigger Point in Your Neck? Trigger points are typically caused by mechanical factors—that is, factors that put strain or stress on your muscles. A spinal trauma, like whiplash from a car accident or a sports-related injury, can cause trigger points to form.

Fibromyalgia makes you feel tired and causes muscle pain and "tender points." tender points are places on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms or legs that hurt when touched. People with fibromyalgia may have other symptoms, such as trouble sleeping, morning stiffness, headaches, and problems with thinking and memory, sometimes called "fibro fog."no one knows what causes fibromyalgia. Anyone can get it, but it is most common in middle-aged women. People with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases are particularly likely to develop fibromyalgia. There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but medicines can help you manage your symptoms. Getting enough sleep and exercising may also help. nih: national institute of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases

ICD-10 codes are the byproduct of that revision.

ICD-10 is required for use by physicians and healthcare providers under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) ...
Many more new diagnoses can be tracked using ICD-10 than with ICD-9. Some expanded code sets, like ICD-10-CM, have over 70,000 codes.
