In general, ICD-10 has made a real mess of this whole concept of Tendinitis, Bursitis, Synovitis, and/or Tenosynovitis of the Shoulder (but not it alone). It is far too complicated, fragmented, and confusing for anybody to figure out. I note that none of the previous responders to this has even mentioned the M75. Code Set for "Shoulder Lesions."

Tendinitis is an acutely inflamed swollen tendon that doesn't have microscopic tendon damage. The underlying culprit in tendinitis is inflammation. Tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with disorganized fibers and a hard, thickened, scarred and rubbery appearance.
Tendinosis is a degeneration of the tendon's collagen in response to chronic overuse; when overuse is continued without giving the tendon time to heal and rest, such as with repetitive strain injury, tendinosis results. Even tiny movements, such as clicking a mouse, can cause tendinosis, when done repeatedly.
M25. 529 - Pain in unspecified elbow. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
