Hello,

High CPK can be there due to following reasons:
- Some medicines like statins, fibrates, anti-retrovirals, beta blockers etc.
- 24 hr after severe exercise
- Polymyositis, dermatomyositis and other connective tissue disorders
- Cardiac problems like infarctions
- 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.
- Drink good amount of water.
- Take supplements of vitamin E with L Carnitine.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
