Doubt a connection: The CPK/CK level is fine especially if you're into fitness, but if you have symptoms of muscle soreness / weakness that are unexplained, it is one small bit of information that may be useful in the workup of a possible myopathy. I would be very surprised if the TMJ problem was anything beyond a coincidence.

Unlikely related: Depends on what caused the CPK value. Depends on teh muscular diagnosis. You can have muscular pain around the TMJ not directly related to TMJ disorder. See an oral surgeon to connect the dots.

Irrelevant: The CPK screening is not useful in detection of susceptible persons with TMJ syndrome.
