M25: Other joint disorders, not elsewhere classified
M25.9: Joint disorder, unspecified
Joint disorder, unspecified (coded as M25.9 in the ICD-10 WHO 2016 classification) refers to a condition where there is an abnormality, dysfunction, or impairment in one or more joints of the body. The exact underlying issue is not specified and could span a range of possibilities, such as inflammation, injury, infection, or degenerative changes. Common symptoms you may experience include pain, swelling, redness, warmth, and stiffness in the affected joint, resulting in reduced range of motion or functionality. Symptoms could be mild and intermittent, gradually progressing in severity, or they may come on suddenly and intensely. The nature of the symptoms and the speed at which they progress can vary widely due to the unspecified nature of the condition. Any joint in the body can be affected by this disorder.
