A member asked:

When i stretch my leg, i feel this odd stinging pain at the back of my thigh. no strenuous things. could being on accutane have anything to do with?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Accutane connection: It would be unlikely that Accutane would be the reason of your thigh pain. Make sure that you are hydrated, that you have not hurt your thigh with another activity. If this continues for 24-48 hours more, it would be wise to visit your primary physician. Hope this helps.
