Palindromic rheumatism, left wrist

What This Code Means

A type of arthritis that causes recurring episodes of joint pain and swelling in the left wrist that typically resolve completely between flare-ups.

Coding Tips

  • •This code is more specific than M12.30; use the fifth character to indicate the exact joint affected
