Does anyone know how to counter damage to shoulder joint cartilage from the use of accutane?
Mу brother took accutane аnd hіѕ shoulder іѕ totally messed up. Thе mobility οf thе joint іѕ very limited аnd painful. Hаѕ anyone еlѕе experienced thіѕ аnd hοw dіd уου deal wіth іt?
A glucosamine supplement may help to reverse the damage over time.
I only now realize the shoulder problems I was having were the result of accutane–eventually I had surgery on my shoulder and the amount of cartilege broken off and floating around in the joint made the surgeon think I had once been in a very bad accident or that I might have rheumatoid arthritus—neither of which is true—I am now having problems with my other shoulder and finally realize this is from the accutane—i fear this will show up in other joints also–there is no history of arthritus in my family and I am otherwise in perfect health—I am very angry with the doctor who repeatedly downplayed the side effects—and said there was nothing to worry about repeatedly using accutane—
