<human>: My CPK was tested an it is very high its 1073 and CK MB is ok at 05. I have had this for sometime now. I find it a bit difficult to walk. My leg musles are weak. How can I get over this. I know its not going to asimple solution. I will be happy if you can direct me towards a solution. Thank you Franklin
<bot>: Hello, High CPK can be there due to following reasons:- Some medicines like statins, vibrates, antiretroviral, beta blockers etc.- 24 hr after severe exercise- Polymyositis, dermatomyositis and other connective tissue disorders-Cardiac problems like infarction- Endocrine disorders like hypo or hyperthyroidism- Viral infections If muscle weakness is only symptoms you are not getting relief from any treatment then you should get a complete evaluation including endocrine disorders and should have a muscle biopsy to rule out myopathies. Meanwhile, you can do following:- Take a good analgesic like ibuprofen.- Chat Doctor. - Take supplements of vitamin E with L Carnitine. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
