How Long Do CK Levels Take To Be Normal Causing Severe Swelling In Biceps?
I was recently diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis......I literally begged to be tested in ER because they tried to convince me I had torn my biceps which is why my arms were swollen. I KNEW it was Rhabdo. Anyway, my CK levels were 30,000 on Wednesday. Since then, 4 days later, they are still over 20,000. I ve had IV s, drink plenty of fluids but my arms are still swollen and I m exhausted. What should I expect with regard to a decrease in my CK LEVELS? Its been almost a week and my levels still aren t normal.

Rupture or lysis of striated muscles can be addressed by an Ayurvedic Medicine Abha Guggul and Laxadi Guggul. It's safe and doesn't interact or counteract with any other med. At biceps you should gently rub Mahanarayan oil and after rubbing do little hot fomentation.
Cap Haridra ( or turmeric powder 1/2 tsp with warm milk or water) is useful with guggul.
CK levels above 20,000 IU/L is dangerous. But if your treating doctors are not worried, they must have faith in their approach. I would simply ask you to opt to add other result oriented Ayurveda classic viz. Gokshar guggul 1 TDS, Neeri Tablets 1 TDS and little yav kshar ( a crystalline med that may be ground) 500mg TDS. These also do not interact with other medicines. Safe. Pure Ayurveda. No side effects. If your life is at stake , its in your own interest to believe in a Vaidya's words. Vaidya means an Ayurveda doctor in India.
These experiences are based on my Ayurveda practice for the last 30 years. Its not binding on you. But other patients have shown progress with such medicines. It's not documented in modern nomenclature, but Ayurveda texts are full of properties of these medicines and are time tested for the last 5000 years. The worst thing will be that these will not improve you much ( but it is most unlikely).
Hope you get my point.
