Some drugs cause high CPK ...esp statins for cholesterol.

If you tell me what drugs you take, I'll look them up for you.

Sometimes exercise will do it too. And if you bump and bruise yourself hard.

Dermatomyositis mentioned in the above article, causes weakness in the legs and arms in the muscles closest to the trunk. There is a version without the skin discolorations called polymyositis.

The research I have done says High CK comes from muscle damage, heart damage or from the brain. I have have all the heart work ups. I have been to two neurologists including one at Oregon Health Sciences med center. my CK e]was normal prior to all this. Anyone else with pn and High ck?
i started getting the np and hi CK when the Dr. started me on statins. I stopped them when
I found out np was a side effect, that was about 18 mos. ago. could the hi CK still be from the statins? I had a nurse practioner research the meds I am on and she didn't find any that would cause it
