Lab's not critical: If you're taking a statin and have widespread muscle pain / weakness / myoglobinuria, this is serious. Intense athletes often run CK's in the many-thousands, and even a little exercise can bring it up like this. Mild muscle disease including dystrophy carriers have high CK's. Your history and physical exam will determine what's needed, not this lab. Best wishes.
