Hi,
With limb girdle muscular dystrophy the CPK levels are deranged and you are getting weaker this the muscke mass is getting reduced and thus lowering the CPK. Stem cell has no definite role in this disease. Physiotherapist will help you.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
