Achy muscles/joints on Accutane

I didn't cut back on my physical activity at all. I remember asking the
dermatologist about the joint pain specifically. He claimed to have treated
Division 1 athletes who suffered joint pain, but swore that they lost no
speed or strength due to the pain. I'm inclined to believe him, since I
didn't notice any difference in my performance. The joint pain was
chronically annoying, but certainly not disabling.

hmm my derm said to reduce exercise while on accutane especially weight
lifting.
