M62: Other disorders of muscle
M62.9: Disorder of muscle, unspecified
A disorder of muscle, unspecified, refers broadly to a condition that affects the muscles, but where the specific nature of the problem is not clearly identified. The nature and severity of symptoms can vary widely, depending on which muscles in the body are involved and the exact nature of the disorder, which is not specified. Generally, muscle disorders can cause a varied range of issues such as muscle weakness, pain, stiffness, or cramping. These disorders can arise due to numerous causes, including genetic abnormalities, inflammation, infection, or injury. Note that this is a general categorization used when a more specific diagnosis is not available; the exact symptoms, severity, progression, and treatment options would differ based on the precise muscle condition affecting the individual. It is important to undergo detailed medical assessments to understand the nature of the muscle disorder in such situations.
