Knee pain can be mild, moderate or severe. The reasons for pain can vary such as injury, overuse, infection and inflammation. Sometimes there may be swelling and redness depends on the cause. We need to visit doctor as per the severity and as per how long the pain lasts.
Physician will do extremity examination to check if there is any swelling, inflammation or injury. There may be need of radiological tests (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound) or arthrocentesis (lab analysis of knee joint fluid) for further evaluation to check for infections or injury to tendon or ligament.
ICD 10 Code for knee pain is found in chapter 13 of ICD-10 CM manual – diseases of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, code range M00 – M99
You must code flank pain as unspecified abdominal pain (R10.9) unless the physician provides additional information about the location of the pain, such as whether it is in the upper or lower portion of the abdomen. Pelvic pain is classified to code R10.2 (Pelvic and perineal pain).
Pleurodynia (R07.81): Spasms of pain in the intercostal muscles, which can be a sign of pleurisy (inflammationof the pleural membranes). Intercostal pain (R07.82): This is pain originating in the intercostal nerves, which run between pairs of adjacent ribs.
Category G89 contains four codes for acute and chronic post-thoracotomy pain (G89.12, G89.22) and other postprocedural pain (G89.18, G89.28). The ICD-10-CM guidelines state that you should not code “routine or expected postoperative pain immediately after surgery.” Additionally, in order to assign these codes, the physician must document that the patient’s pain is a complication of the surgery.
For example, you can assign a G89 code to indicate that the pain is acute or chronic. You should assign the site-specific pain code first unless the purpose of the encounter is pain management, in which case the G89 code is first. For example, a patient is referred for ankle x-rays for chronic right ankle pain.
Category G89 contains codes for acute (G89.11) and chronic (G89.21) pain due to trauma. You should not assign these codes if a cause for the pain (i.e., a specific injury) has been identified, except in the unlikely event that the purpose of the encounter is pain management.
The ICD-10-CM Index refers you to the code for angina (I20.9) when the patient’s chest pain is described as “ischemic.” However, other types of chest pain are reported with codes from category R07 (Pain in throat and chest). There is an exception for post-thoracotomy pain, which we’ll discuss later.
Central pain syndrome can occur as a result of stroke, multiple sclerosis, neoplasm, epilepsy, CNS trauma, or Parkinson’s disease. Patients with central pain syndrome may experience localized pain, burning, and/or numbness in specific parts of the body, or throughout the body.
