Lower back pain (isotretinion-accutane pill ver)
Hello doctor, I am 14 and i had Isotretinoin treatment but it was prescribed overseas and i had a month worth of pills (Accutane pill) but i wasnt qualified to get the treatment here but use benzoyl. During the treatment joint, bone back pain was one of the side effects but even after month after post accutane i still have back pains trying to sit or stand, lie down after 20 minutes. Maybe it was because i was still growing? People recommend working out, apple cider vinegar shots or physical therapy and NSAIDs but wanted a specialists opinion on it and what should i do to make it less painful and what will worsen the pain.
