I've been on accutane for 6 weeks at 60mg/day (112 lbs, 22y/o female). After the first month I only had lip and nose dryness. Now I am having moderate-severe joint pain and it's causing problems. My knees are in a lot of pain along with my middle-upper thoracic spine. I have never had a problem with my bones/joints before, and no trauma occurred. I'm willing to deal with the pain for now, but only if it's not permanent. So- is joint pain caused by accutane, and is it permanent? Thank you :)
