2025-03-05 16:56:17
I have acne , dermatologist recommended isotretinoin capsule 20mg which resulted very bad and I took capsule only 2 days,I had near death experience all of my bone joints started to pain especially my backbone and whole chest got locked and I wasn't able to move nor breathe properly even though I have no history of bone pain , I have some breathing problem only in winter months (dec & jan), after taking inhaler and painkillers for almost a month I am not yet fully recovered,the pain has reduced to some extent but I am still not able to move freely as before ,will the pain go away and I will be healthy again? or it caused a permanent damage which I have to suffer my whole life..

It might have caused an allergic reaction but the bone involvement is unlikely at such low dose in a short period of time A thorough assessment must be done to look at it as a systemic disease rather than a side effect of the drug Acne can be a manifestation of certain underlying diseases and syndromes. Cannot comment on the whether it will be permanent without knowing the exact cause
