famey88 0 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi everyone. I have read a lot about joint pain whilst on accutane but I haven't been able to find a lot about joint clicking/cracking. I've only been taking accutane for 6 days (20mg a day) but this morning I've noticed that every time I move, my joints (ankles/knees/wrists) make clicking noises which is certainly not normal for me. I just wondered whether anyone else had experienced this and whether it continues throughout the whole course. Thanks xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lngo 1 Share Posted May 22, 2012 yeah same here. Ive been on accutane for four months though. the other day we had a class presentation and i dropped my pointer, so i went to bend down and pick it up and literally every bone in my body cracked.. i was so embarrassed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oli girl 178 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Do a google search or a search on this board like Sheefa and you will find out about joint clicking or what some call crepitus. For some it may stop once your course is over and for some it may not, and though dose doesn't always matter some have had worse side effects on 20mg. I would say try Vit D as Vit A (accutane) and Vit D compete and Accutane is known to lower Vit D levels and maybe think about trying alternatives to accutane if you acne is not severe cystic acne. Like Light Threapy. Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
