Myositis : Could be a lot of different ones. Your physician can help clarify. Polymyositis is not painful so i would look at vasculitis or infiltrative types like sarcoidosis. You may need a MRI and then a biopsy to make the diagnosis.

Kidney biopsy: You will need a kidney biopsy to know why creatinine is elevated.
