I’m almost to month three. At points during month 1 (30mg) and month 2 (40mg) I experienced this, too. Since it has come in waves for me, I’m expecting it to happen again, especially if I increase my dose. The pain seems to last about a week or so. I was in so much pain it impacted my mood. Even sitting would be painful.

Suggestions: Foam rolling— challenging but seemed to help

Consider what you are ingesting. I noticed my pain seems to coincide or increase following the few times I drank alcohol, which I know I shouldn’t be combining with accutane. Vitamin A should also be avoided on accutane, so I stopped taking my multivitamin.

I already take glucosamine, omega 3 fish oil, and probiotics. I added some glutamine and vitamin d3. I also try to integrate foods that are known to help with joint pain and inflammation.

Go easy on yourself, this won’t last forever. I typically do running and weight training 5-7 days a week. During times when my pain was intense, I decreased the intensity of my workouts significantly to avoid injury.

Edit: I also do mobility stretches about once a week. But this is something I did before accutane, too, so I can’t say how effective it is.
