Isotretinoin may cause bone or muscle problems, including joint pain, muscle pain or stiffness, or difficulty moving. You may get hurt more easily during rough sports. You may also heal more slowly. But these symptoms r common and will resolve once the medication is tapered down. Consult ur Dermatologist and inform about the same.
