Was on accutane for 1 month-40mgs. stopped due to joint pain. been 1 week off and my ankles are still stiff. how long until joint pain is gone?

2-4 weeks: If your joint pain is truly from the accutane, your pain should go away in 2-4 weeks. I would recommend using a topical anti-inflammatory compound (rx) to alleviate your pain in the meantime.
