M25.532 – Pain in left wrist

Pain in the left wrist can be caused by joint disorders, overuse injuries, trauma, or nerve compression such as median nerve entrapment. Other contributing medical conditions may include arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or pain radiating from multiple sites such as the fingers or right hand.

The ICD-10-CM code M25.532 indicates localized pain in the left wrist due to unspecified wrist conditions without a known cause at the time of diagnosis. It is a classified code used by healthcare providers for documentation and billing purposes when a more specific code is not applicable.

Treatment for left wrist pain depends on the underlying cause and may include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, splinting, or physical therapy. In severe cases, especially those involving joint disorders or nerve issues, a procedure such as corticosteroid injections or surgery may be necessary.
