Mild but constant knee pain for 5 mnth on accutane, dose increased for 2 mnth, pain has gotten worse. is permanent damage possible? should i stop?

Better stop: The accutane and see your doctor, hopefully no permanent damage, but you want to not add fuel to the fire, side effects of accutane can be serious, hence the need to keep close follow up and monitoring
