Can Izotek be the cause of muscle pain and arthritis?

I am undergoing a treatment Izotekien dose of 10 mg. I've been taking it for a very long time. Recently I got ankle arthritis, pain and swelling on both legs. Is it possible to take it with this drug. There was no injury and so far I have not had any problems with my legs, joints.

According to the Izotek leaflet: "Muscle pain, joint pain and increased serum creatine kinase have been reported in patients taking isotretinoin, especially in those who exercised intense physical exertion. In some cases, this can occur with a potentially life-threatening breakdown of muscle tissue. After several years of isotretinoin use at very high doses, bone changes were observed, including premature overgrowing of epiphyseal cartilage, bone hypertrophy and calcifications in tendons and ligaments." Therefore, the cause of your ailments can be seen in the use of Izotek. If the problem intensifies and prevents you from functioning normally, comfortably - please contact your doctor. You may need to change your treatment. I encourage you to read the leaflet of the drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/38761/izotek-20-mg-kapsulki/ulotka

After 2 months I got knee arthritis and swelling of the bone marrow of both hip bones. And now I'm struggling with these pains, because despite the discontinuation of isotek after 4 months, the pain is still there

17 lat temu przeszedłem ponad roczną kuracje izotekiem. Chwilami dawka doszła do 30mg. Po kuracji stałem sie kaleką ( osteoporoza, naderwania ścięgien przy jakimkolwiek wysiłku fizycznym) Obecnie mam lat 35 i fizycznie jestem jak starzec, kolana bardzo bolą, miejsca gdzie dochodziło do uszkodzeń tj stawy i ścięgna bolą i nie są w stanie sie wygoić bez pomocy farmakologi. Lekarka która prowadziła nieudolnie moje leczenie izotekiem, po skończeniu leczenia sie wypięła na mnie i spławiła a ja męczyłem się z osteoporozą i problemami... i problemy trwają po dziś dzień... Idź do jakiegoś specialisty by się tobą zajeli i podjęli właściwe leczenie, im wcześniej tym lepiej... z izotekiem nie ma żartów a najgorsze co może być to stracić zdrowie. Działaj puki wcześnie
