I need some help. I cannot find a dx code for a pinched nerve of the thumb. Under pinched nerve it said to go neuropathy then entrapment. I don't see any thing for the thumb not sure which one to use.
 
you can look under nerve compression, myself I would use 354.9 (upper extremity or arm), if it the thumb it would be the radial nerve not the ulnar. hope that helps
