The potential side effects of accutane are numerous, and one of them is muscle or joint pain. You and your doctor have to decide whether the expected benefits of treatment outweigh the potential side effects. Bone calcification is a concern with long-term use. Why did you take accutane for several years, did you stop after the recommended 150mg X your body weight and experience a relapse or did you take it continuously for years? Please get back to me.
