Hello,
Thanks for your query.
A healthy person with a slightly low platelet (125 in your case) is not a clinical concern and you should not be concerned.
Regarding CK, if you have no any other symptoms and because you are a pretty active athlete, the cause is most probably a small trauma to the muscle or a mild inflammation in the muscle.
Regarding IGM decreased, do you take any kind of steroids?
I am looking forward to your answer.
If you have any more queries, feel free to ask.
