Accutane and permanent joint/back pain

I posted on here several months ago, but I don't see my post. I took Accutane in 2001, and I haven't been the same since. I have CHRONIC back and joint pain, to the point of having to reduce my work hours and take arthritis/pain meds. Before taking it, I was a healthy nurse working full-time, taking care of 2 small children, and kept an immaculate house. In no time at all, my whole life changed. My derm admitted it was the Accutane, but she didn't say a word more. I've figured out that they're not going to admit it can cause permanent effects b/c they are afraid of lawsuits. Check out what I'm saying. Just google "accutane+back and joint pain," or go to askapatient.com. You'll see the countless people who report these symptoms. Some are permanent, while others' symptoms disappeared when stopping the med. Beware.....
