M25.511 – Pain In Right Shoulder

Diagnosis code M25.511 indicates pain specifically located in the right shoulder. It allows healthcare providers to document, treat, and bill for shoulder pain that may arise from injury, inflammation, or degenerative joint conditions.

While no ICD-10 code directly names the right sternoclavicular joint, M25.511 – Pain in right shoulder is typically used to capture pain in that anatomical region. This general shoulder pain code covers discomfort involving the sternoclavicular area when no more specific diagnosis is available.

The ICD-10 code most often used for right rotator cuff pain is M75.101 – Unspecified rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder, not specified as traumatic. This code is applied when pain is suspected to originate from the rotator cuff, even without a confirmed injury mechanism.
