HIGH CK LEVEL OF CHILD

My cousin brother is of age 9. He has extraordinary high level of ceatine kinase. About 12,000. He has had his test of polio which came negative. His only problem is that he has unbearable pain in his right calf muscle once in a year. We consulted a neurologist who told us not to worry and everything is ok. Please guide us.
