A member asked:
If my sed rate and cpk are mildly elevated should i be concerned? and what could be some reasons for the elevation? i also have a low iron count

Inflammation: Usually a mildly elevated CPK and sed rate are hallmarks of inflammation somewhere in the body. Chronic inflammation can also make you prone to being anemic, so get that checked out with some common blood tests.
