Possible muscle dz: These tests are seen in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies including dermatomyositis and poly myosotis. The tests are not specific. It requires other testing to determine if you actually have this type or rare disease. You should see a rheumatologist for an evaluation especially if you have an elevated CPK blood test.
