Hello doctors, I am nearing the end of my second month of Accutane administered in 40mg pills 2x/day. I am not sure if it is just a placebo effect or not, but I can confirm that I have noticed some sharp back pain after lying down in bed at night. Is there any promising literature that touts the effectiveness of either fish oil or glucosamine in reducing joint pain for Accutane patients? Thanks!
Neither of those agents reliably reduce pain in any patients. I wouldn’t necessarily ascribe that pain to accutane, but you should talk to your doctor about this.
