Can anyone help me with a diagnosis code for lupus arthritis?

Thanks for any help.
 
Swollen joints (arthritis) and arthralgia are common symptoms of Lupus, not getting any combination ICD 9 Code for lupus arthritis, not sure but I think 710.0 and 716.9X can be used. see

710.0Systemic lupus erythematosus
Disseminated lupus erythematosus
Libman-Sacks disease
Use additional code to identify manifestation, as:
endocarditis (424.91)
nephritis (583.81)
chronic (582.81)
