Final answer:

The ICD-10 code for chronic right knee pain due to primary degenerative joint disease is M17.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

ICD-10 code for pain of chronic right knee due to primary degenerative joint disease

The ICD-10 code for the scenario you described is M17.10. This code represents primary osteoarthritis of the knee, unspecified. It is used when a patient presents with chronic knee pain due to primary degenerative joint disease, such as osteoarthritis.

Example: If a patient presents for a steroid injection to control the pain of their chronic right knee due to primary degenerative joint disease, the ICD-10 code to document the reason for their visit would be M17.10.
