See Sheefa's post. He gives some recommendations though they didn't work for him...He is still in chronic pain as of today from Accutane.
It has caused osteoarthritis,autoimmune arthritis, bone spurs and calcium deposits and depletion of collegan and hyaluronic acid in some.

Will it happen to you,,,hard to say some it goes away after treatment and for some it does not. I myself have joint,bone and muscle damage from accutane.

I would suggest though to make sure no fish oil with codliver oil or Vit A....
