A member asked:
I have bad neck and back pain but i'm on accutane. is it worth it for me to see an orthopedic doctor or will they just suggest stopping accutane?

Worth it: In my opinion, it would be worth it. They can examine you for other potential causes of your back and neck pain and give an opinion whether or not they feel your pain is musculoskeletal.
