I took Accutane for my acne problem for about 2 months and realised that I started getting severe joint pains almost everywhere (feets, elbows, shoulder, knees, etc.). Never had this problem before. I stopped it after that. Its been about three weeks and the pain still has not gone away. I can barely walk. Back of my feets hurt so bad and so does the knee. It has been a very frustrating expereince. So, I would like to see if there is someone who has experienced the similar pain and how long it took them to start feeling better or to be able to walk properly. I am more interested in knowing about the joint pains from Accutane rather than knowing about how good the Accutane is for clearing up acne. It would be great if you could focus on these HUGE side effects rather than how miraculously it works for certain people. I would appreciate it if you could share your joint pain expereinces and its duration.Thank you.
How long does it take for the joint pains to go away after stopping Accutane?
