They did several test including a aldolase (11.3) CPK (923) ANA (Negative) rheumatoid factor (Negative) d2/3 (23) etc. her WBS was also a little elevated 9.0 Do we need to see a rheumatoidolist with the high CPK. or is that still from her chilies 6 mns ago?

Brief Answer:
Achilles tendinitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query on HealthcareMagic,

I do understand your concern,

As per her clinical history is concerned, she had [Achilles tendinitis] 6 months ago and her test report shows high [aldolase and CPK]. The test report indicates that she had a muscle injury and it becomes high in muscle injury so it stays high for few months so nothing to be worried and it is due to her Achilles tendinitis only so check if she has any pain in running, stair climbing or sprinting and if pain is there you need to consult with your doctor.

Do take some preventive steps for future-:

1) If she is starting an exercise regimen, start slowly and gradually

2) She may avoid activities that place excessive stress on her tendons, such as running. If she participates in a strenuous activity, warm up first by exercising at a slower pace. If she notices pain during a particular exercise, stop and take rest.

3) The shoes she wears while exercising should provide adequate cushioning for her heel and should have a firm arch support to help reduce the tension in the Achilles tendon.

4) Take time to stretch her calf muscles and Achilles tendon in the morning, before exercise and after exercise to maintain flexibility.

5) She may take some time to change to high-impact activities, such as running and jumping, from low-impact activities, such as cycling and swimming.

Hope that helps
