Mowing Lawn & Blood Test Impact

[Thane]

possibly referring to CK levels, which are usually an indicator or either muscle damage/heart attack heavy drinking in some cases, dont worry too much, depends what he calls "high"

Case and point, I mowed our LARGE back lawn a day before the blood test (which if I had known I was going to have I wouldn't have mowed the lawn) went in for the test with bruises and aches and pains all over my body from pushign that bloody lawn mower around for 3 hours. test came back elevated (225 CKP lvl)

2 days ago got results from a follow up test with bruising from work, and bruising on my foot from something, and it read at 255..

Will, I recall that about half of the people in the Hart study on peripheral nerve hyperexcitability (PNH) had elevated CK levels.

j_sageurge...I love your quote.

CPK elevation is very non-specific...even a muscle cramp (which many of us have on a regular basis) can cause it to be elevated
