Accutane joint muscle and tendon soreness

nrpff2
was on accutane 10mg per day (often skipped a dose or two per week) for 5yr. I stopped taking it 3 months ago. I still have muscle, joint, tendon soreness. Once I get sore from exercise it heals slowly. I had this issue while on accutane. What should I DO? HOW LONG will it take to go away? I should mention I was also on accutane at 120mg (started off at 80mg and went up to 120mg) for 5 months about 8 years ago. And about 12 years ago I was on accutane at 40mg for months.
