Did your dad take Accutane before you were born or was it after? Please let me know. Thank you.
I am currently in my fourth month of Accutane and have had very severe joint pains along with the common side effects. There was even a time when I worked a seven hour shift hosting at a restaurant and went home in so much pain from running around I got sick. My doctor never told me about that effect! Be sure to bring it up with your doctor if you are an athlete.
Hello,
There are some effects of accutane on the joints which include joint stiffness, joint pain, muscle aches, decreased blood cells and bone marrow depression. I suggest you to discuss these side effects with your dermatologist before you start with the treatment.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Take accutane, i'm 17 now and went on it when I was 16 and it worked wonders and keeps tje acne away, I had moderate acne and oily skin too....I play Major Junior hockey and it didn't affect my play in a negative bodily way, it boosted my confidence if anything!......I did a 4 month treatment of it on a lower dose so I would reccommend that, higher doses are for sever cases like grade 4 or between 3 and 4.....hope this helps a bit if any
