Hemoglobin was also down to normal range .Dr given us some multivitamin and a kind of asteroids for 20 day , after test CPK level has come down to normal range.now he is well but dr said he may suffer paralysis. Is it true? Or should I go to another dr for suggestions. What to do please help.
Brief Answer:
Chances for residual weakness is unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
High CPK indicates insult to muscles. It can happen in conditions like viral fever will resolve spontaneously or steroids.
Chances for residual weakness is unlikely.
May be your doctor thinking about possibilities like “Guillian-Barre syndrome” which is unlikely in this case.
You can consult with a neurologist for reassurance.
Wishing all the best.
