CK or CPK-same thing & liver testing question

[Guest guest]

Thanks for all the information. I knew I could count on all of you for

information and calming me down. That being said, I am still really worried

about this one.

Let's answer a few of the questions posed to me: Georgina-they do not feel

the cast has anything to do with this (I asked). She was only in it for 3

weeks.

- no strenuous activity. They asked me this as well. She spent all day

Tuesday at my mom's (they really did not do anything, but go to lunch & a

movie). The day she had the labs done was the same day as the CT. She got up

early and she also did not have anything to eat. Her CT was at 9:40 and we were

in the lab by 10:00. And again she has to spend all day Saturday doing nothing

(we'll have a movie marathon) and then take her for her lab on Sunday morning.

I will definitely be talking with the new doctor about this. She is still

having muscle pain in her neck/shoulders and chest, which is why I'm so worried.

Now as far as the liver tests go I know those were not too bad. However, now

that she does have some elevation, is this something they just watch or do they

take her off NSAIDs. She is currently taking 3/4tsp of 7.5mg of Mobic (recently

increased from 1/2 tsp). Before that she was on OTC Aleve twice per day and

then 500mg Naproxen per day.

thanks again for all the support, I will let you know after we see the doctor

on Thursday.
