A member asked:
Day 14 on accutane 40mg my severe back pain has been dialed down to moderate with help of therapeutic heat wraps. is this a cause for concern anymore?

While you can get: joint aches and pain with accutane, it is unusual to start that early in the course of Accutane therapy. I would think perhaps you may have strained a muscle but if pain continues you should talk with dermatologist who prescribed the accutane, and may need to discontinue.
