'Pins and needles' (paresthesia) is a sensation of uncomfortable tingling, prickling, itching or skin crawling usually felt in the hands or feet. The affected area is sometimes said to have 'fallen asleep'.
Paresthesia can be caused by disorders affecting the central nervous system (encephalitis, MS, stroke) or any of the peripheral nerves (carpel tunnel syndrome, atherosclerosis). Peripheral neuropathy is a general term indicating disturbances in the peripheral nerves.
Paresthesia happens because of pressure on a nerve. When that pressure is gone -- you uncross your legs, for example -- the feeling goes away. But in some cases, it doesn't go away.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
Usually a temporary sensation, it is caused when pressure is placed on the nerve that supplies a limb. Once that pressure is relieved, the discomfort goes away. Some people have chronic or long-term paresthesia, which can be a sign of a more serious nerve injury or condition.
Repositioning yourself to release pressure on the nerve may be enough to relieve any tingling or numbness that you're experiencing. Over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication or a cold compress can also be used to relieve any temporary or infrequent pain caused by paresthesia.
A paresthesia is an abnormal sensation, such as numbness or tingling, due to nerve injury or dysfunction. A common example is the feeling of your hands or feet “falling asleep” when they're in one position for too long.
In most cases, the paresthesia is transient, resolving on its own after just a few days or weeks. In some cases, the condition is best classified as being persistent (lasting longer than 6 months). For a small number of cases, the loss is permanent.

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code R20.2 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves make up the nervous system. Together they control all the workings of the body. When something goes wrong with a part of your nervous system, you can have trouble moving, speaking, swallowing, breathing, or learning. You can also have problems with your memory, senses, or mood.
R20.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Paresthesia of skin . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
