Use ICD code 789.09 for flank pain because flank is a part of the abdomen.
724.2 is the code for back pain. It is a general ICD9 referring to a symptom, not a diagnosis.
ICD 9 CM Code for rib pain -786.50- Chest pain, unspecified.
337.20 is the code for complex regional pain syndrome. It used to be called reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

Flank pain is most commonly associated with Kindney troubles. Flank pain can be caused by Arthritis, Muscle Spasms, a kidney stone, and an array of other things. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003113.htm
Sounds as if you are describing left sided flank pain. Typically, we see flank pain with kidney issues such as an infection or kidney stone.
The only thing you could do for flank pain is to try to avoid sugar and things that would cause any damage to your kidneys.
We can code 724.5 for the upper back pain if no specific region like cervical or thoracic is mentioned in evaluation...........
The closest I am finding is 789.07, which is under "other symptoms involving abdomen and pelvis", "abdominal pain", "unspecified", "generalized", since no specific area was specified as to where the flank pain is located.
