Replying to Accutane Pain?
Ive been on it for two weeks and am experiencing some annoying side effects. My leg joints are about as smooth as a door in an old victorian home, my back aches, my ribs feel like my lungs are imploding whenever I do any upper body workout, and my calf muscles are too sore to run. I have stopped taking the pills as of yesterday and havent yet been able to talk to the derm. I was reading some horror stories about the drug on the web (yes I know, brilliant idea) and found that many claim to have suffered permient muscle and joint damage. I knew about the risk of depression and was willing to cope but Im not sacarficing my physical being for a chance at an acne free face for a month. I was just curious if any nsers have had the drug and experienced similar problems. Am i quitting too soon, do the effets go away? I have been unable to reach the Derm so Im just looking to hear some opinions. It really sucks because I can't run or ride my bike without considerable pain. I don't entirely like feeling like im 50 at age 18.
